THE MORE YOU KNOW FOR KIDS
INTERNET SAFETY
"The web is really fun. But some sites just aren't fun for kids. So, ask your parents before you visit a new site so you're not scared or confused." – Noah Gray-Cabey, Heroes
What You Should Know...
| The Internet connects computers from all around the world. When your computer is on the Internet, you can talk to people and even play games with others! | |
| You can also find tons of information on the Internet. Whether you want to know about different animals or people, you can learn almost anything on the computer. You can also read about your favorite TV show, find out more about someone famous or listen to your favorite song. | |
| Just like the real world, the Internet also has rules. It is important to be careful of strangers that you meet over the Internet. Never agree to meet anyone in person that you talk to on the computer without asking your parents first. If anything ever makes you feel scared or uncomfortable, always tell an adult. | |
| The Internet is a public space - millions of people are connected to the Internet, so never say anything or post any pictures online that you don't want others to see. | |
| Most importantly, remember to have fun! Just by going onto the Internet, you can meet new friends from all around the world. Have you ever wanted to talk to someone in Japan? Or how about South Africa? Well, now you can! |

|
| Tell an adult Make sure to talk to an adult if you ever feel uncomfortable or scared by anything on the computer. |

|
| Keep it to yourself The Internet is a public place. Don't post pictures online that you don't want others to see. |
