 How to be
Internet Smart
Be a positive presence online.
Everything that is posted about you online –
whether by you or by someone else – could last
forever.
Think before you post.
Again, anything you post online could last forever,
so be smart about how you respond to things you
see, and don’t share something that isn’t true.
Protect your secrets!
Don’t share anything private, like your address,
email, phone number, usernames and passwords, or
any other documents and materials online.
Don’t assume that people online
will see you the way you think
they’ll see you.
Things that are written online aren’t always
perceived the same way by everyone, so be careful
with what you say.
It’s always important to respect
other people’s privacy choices,
even if they aren’t the choices
you’d make yourself.
REMEMBER: do what’s right for you and allow
others to decide what’s right for them.
 How to be
Internet Alert
Double check for site credibility.
Before clicking on a link to a site, make
sure the URL matches the name of the
product or company you’re searching for.
Use secure websites.
Make sure each website you visit has a
URL that starts with ‘https://’ and has a
little green padlock to the left of it.
Don’t fall for scams.
If an email or website is offering you something
that seems too good to be true, like a million
dollars, it probably IS too good to be true, so
don’t fall for the scam!
It can happen to anyone.
If you do fall for a scam, don’t fret. Tell a
trusted adult like your mom, dad, or teacher
immediately and change all of your online
passwords straight away.
Remember that websites and
ads cannot tell if there’s
anything wrong with your
device!
Certain scams try to get you to download malware or
unwanted software by tricking you into thinking there
is something wrong with your device. Never click on
these!
How to be Internet
Kind
Follow the golden rule!
Remember to treat others the same way
you want to be treated, both online and
offline, and to report any harassment
towards you or someone else to a trusted
adult.
Be an Upstander!
An Upstander is someone who stands up
for kindness and positivity and fights
back against bad behavior.
Do simple actions to turn
negative interactions into
positive ones.
If someone is being bullied online, be the bigger
person. DO NOT retaliate by saying something
mean to the bully, but instead get a bunch of your
friends and classmates to post positive comments
about the person being bullied to change the
conversation.
Do simple actions to turn
negative interactions into
positive ones.
If you wouldn’t say it to someone’s face in real
life, don’t post it online!
Spread kindness online.
