Cyber Safety Tips By Niti Arora, KHMS
Internet safety is the utmost requirement of today’s World. When
students develop in internet behaviors without guidance, problems are
sure to occur.
I hope that teaching students some key messages from a young age will help
them navigate their way safely through the internet as they grow older.
Here are some key messages around
internet safety that I believe all students should be aware of.
1.
Always ask an adult if
you’re unsure of anything when you are online.
3.
Remember YAPPY (the
personal information you should not share online) – Your
full name, address, phone number, passwords, your
plans.
4.
Don’t add people as online
friends unless you know them in real life or have parent permission. Never
arrange to meet an online friend without talking to a parent.
5.
Remember that you cannot
believe everything you read on the internet and you can’t trust everything
online friends tell you.
6.
Choose sensible names
for usernames, email addresses etc.
7.
Talk to your parents
about what you’re doing online and let them know when you’re going on the
internet.
8.
Know what cyber bullying
is and tell someone if you think it’s happening to you. Cyber bullying is when
someone picks on you, annoys, embarrasses, or threatens you over and
over again using technology, such as the internet or a phone.
9.
Protect your digital
footprint: don’t put anything online that you wouldn’t want all your friends,
family, teachers and future employers to see.
10.
Treat others online the
way you’d like to be treated.
