Top Ten Internet Safety Tips
1. Keep passwords private — even from best friends!
2. Don't respond to mean or harassing e-mails. Just log off.
3. Be suspicious when someone offers you something for nothing, such as gifts or money.
4. Never agree to meet with someone face-to-face without telling your parent or guardian. If your parent or guardian agrees to the meeting, make sure to meet in a public place.5. Remember that people online may not be who they seem.
6. Do not give out personal information (address, phone number, where you go to school or photographs) to someone that you only know through the Internet, unless you have permission from your parents or guardian.
7. Remember that anything you post, even if you delete it, may have been copied, forwarded or reposted.
8. Do not create a video that makes fun of another person. Always treat others as you’d like to be treated.
9. Make sure there are no identifying objects or pictures (school jersey, street names, licence plates) in your videos that could put you at risk.
10. Always respect privacy rights when it comes to the people in your video. You must get the permission of everyone who appears on camera, and if you take video of children, make sure you have permission from their parent or guardian.
