Limit time on the Internet Set limits on length of time on the Internet Explore the Internet in designated places

Think before acting… Slow down If necessary, stop before going ahead

Some paths are not good choices... If you make a wrong turn, get out the safest and quickest way possible

It is dangerous to share… Your first & last name, address, telephone number, password, school name, parent’s name, any other personal information in the Internet

If you have a bad feeling… If you go to a site that makes you uncomfortable – you can always escape from the Internet or shut the computer off
