3. Online Safety Tips Don’t give out any of your personal information over the computer, like your full name, address, phone number, or even your e-mail address. Never talk to strangers online. Don’t respond to any emails, instant messages, or chat room/message board messages from people you don’t know, especially if it makes you feel uncomfortable. If anyone ever asks to meet in person over the computer, it’s important to tell an adult you trust, like a parent or teacher. Don’t share your passwords with anyone.

4. Perfect Passwords Don’t use passwords that are easy to guess – such as your nickname or your pet’s name. Don’t use any private identity information in your password. Identity thieves can use this information to pretend to be you. Don’t use a word in the dictionary as a password. Hackers use programs that will try every word in the dictionary to guess passwords. Do use combinations of letters, numbers, and symbols. These are harder to crack than regular words because there are more combinations to try. http://s4.hubimg.com/u/116243_f260.jpg

5. Be Aware of Your Surroundings RECOGNIZE techniques used by online predators to deceive. REFUSE requests for personal information.

6. RESPOND assertively if you are ever in an uncomfortable situation online. Exit the program, log off or turn off the computer, tell a trusted adult, or call the police. REPORT to a trusted adult any suspicious or dangerous contact that makes you feel uncomfortable.

7. Phishing, Malware, Spyware and Spam These greedy little programs attach themselves to respectable-looking software – for example, a downloadable game that looks really cool – and then wreak havoc once installed on your computer. To prevent : Do not visit any website that you are unfamiliar with. Do open any emails that from unknown sources. Do not download any files that you are unfamiliar with. http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nJLOuss1ip0/SKO3GxOBSOI /AAAAAAAAANI/uWrn37aknJU/s320/SmokeyBear1983 Poster.jpg

8. How To Address Cyber Bullying 1.Have empathy. Understand what someone else is going through. 2.Understand the line between funny and cruel. Online communication is often purposely ambiguous or accidentally cruel -- both of which can lead to misunderstandings. If drama starts brewing, call or speak face to face with your friend to clear it up. 3.Talk to someone. Find a responsible adult to confide in -- your school counselor, your music teacher, even the parent of a friend. 4.Be an upstander -- not a bystander. Don’t be hesitant to get involved. There are ways to work behind the scenes to reach out to the victim, get an adult involved, and prevent more cruel behavior. 5.Stop it. Don’t respond or retaliate. Not feeding the bully can stop the cycle. And -- if anything does happen -- save the evidence.

9. Players In Cyber Bullying The cyberbully- aggressor who is using the internet to deliberately upset or harass their target. Target- a person who is being bullied. Bystanders- students who are aware of the bullying but are doing nothing Upstanders-students who decide to speak up for the targets by telling someone or responding to the bully directly.

10. Dealing With Digital Harassment Encourage each other to deal with frustration in an healthier way. Talk your problems out without confrontation. Don’t cave in to peer pressure or do anything outside of your comfort zone. Like sharing passwords or sending inappropriate photos. Stand up for each other. Report harassment to a teacher or other adult.
