REMEMBER TO STAY CYBER SMART
!
There's some great stuff on the Net, but some bad stuff too. It's
important to be careful when using the Internet and remember
these SMART rules. |
S |
Keep your
personal details Secret. Never use your parents' credit
card without their permission, and never give away your name,
address, or passwords - it's like handing out the keys to your
home! |
M |
Never
Meet
someone you have contacted in Cyberspace without your
parent's or caregiver's permission, and
then only when they can be present. |
A |
Don't
Accept e-mails, open attachments or download files from
people or organizations you don't really know or trust - they
may contain viruses or nasty messages. |
R |
Remember
that someone online may not be who they say they are. If you
feel uncomfortable or worried in a chat room simply get out
of there! |
T |
Tell
your parent or caregiver if someone or something makes you feel
uncomfortable or worried. |
