Tips for Safety On-line

Keep your computer in a place accessible by ALL family members. Talk to you children about what they do on-line and where they go. Stay involved with your children both on and off line. Being with

them while they are online, at least when they are starting out, is a great way to spend time together and to make sure they understand what is safe.

Use filtering software. Do not let the children have a e-mail account that you can not

access. Do not give your password to ANYONE, either in person or over

internet. Only use your credit card on web sites you feel comfortable that the

number will be secure.

INTERNET SAFETY SITES

http://www.sjsites.com/internethttp://www.sjsites.com

These are WebPages that I have put together for K-6 students. I screen these sites and make sure that they are safe for our students. I update them as often as I can. I am constantly looking for wonderful websites

and when I find one it is added to these pages. If a link that I feel is inappropriate is added to any of these

pages, I will delete it from my webpage.
