Thematic Connection: Internet Safety
The internet is a fun place to explore an learn. You can plan a trip, buy things, do activities, pay bills, and keep in touch with family and friends. When searching the web or using social media, we must take steps to stay safe. Know the signs when something is suspicious. Look out for strangers trying to get your personal information.
What is Personal Information?
PRESENTERS: Open up the white board and type in responses to the questions.
- What are examples of personal information?
- What could possibly happen if you shared personal information like this online?
Being Careful About Strangers
When we meet people online, we have to remember that some people pretend to be someone else. They may ask us for money or information that is not their business. It can be hard to tell if someone wants to take advantage of us. We need to make smart choices to be safe online.
- Do you have online social media accounts? (Participants can use the yes and no option in the participant panel)
- Do you have any of these? (Social Media Icons link)
- Should we accept friend requests from people we don't know?
- Should we click on links that pop up on our screen?
- What should we do if we are online and someone we don’t know asks to meet face to face?
