Internet Safety Week 2

My Dear Fifth Graders,

When you are posting on the internet, here are several things to remember from Netsmartz:

1. I WILL THINK BEFORE I POST.
I agree not to post information and images that could put me at risk, embarrass me, or damage my future, such as
• cell & home phone numbers
• home address
• sexual messages
• inappropriate pictures and videos
2. I WILL RESPECT OTHER PEOPLE ONLINE.
I will not
• post anything rude, offensive, or threatening
• send or forward images and information that might embarrass, hurt, or harass someone
• take anyone's personal information and use it to damage his or her reputation
3. I WILL NOT MEET ONLINE FRIENDS IN PERSON.
I agree to
• ask my parent or guardian's permission before I talk with people I don't know
4. I WILL PROTECT MYSELF ONLINE.
If someone makes me feel uncomfortable or if someone is rude or offensive, I will
• not respond
• save the evidence
• tell my parent, guardian, or another trusted adult
• report to the website, cell phone company, CyberTipline.com, or the police

Watch the following video:
It's OK to Tell!
Turn in a summary of what it is about.  This is the second step toward being able to post on the blog! There are seven videos total.

Is your anticipation *figurative language alert* growing like a beanstalk?

Cheerfully,
Mrs. Simon
