• The Internet is a collection of computers.

• These computers are all over the world.

• The Internet is used to:– Teach us– Entertain us– Sell things to us– Help us stay in touch with each other

• When we are using the Internet, we are “online.”





• The Internet is a great resource.

• But, it can be a dangerous place, too.

• We want to learn and have fun online but we have to be careful.





• Today we will learn about being “S.M.A.R.T.” while using the Internet. “S.M.A.R.T.” stands for:– Safety– Manners– Advertising– Research– Technology





• But first … what is the Internet?– Computers around the world, connected to other big,

powerful computers called “servers” and to each other

– “Modems” are devices used to connect computers to these servers

– “The Web” is a collection of systems and software that makes the Internet easy to use.





















• The Internet is a very BIG place– You can find almost anything– It’s easy to get lost– So, you need an adult around (just like in real life)

• Now, let’s learn about Safety





• Safety on the Internet means knowing: – Where you are going

– What you can say

– What to do when things go wrong

– When and how to make friends





• Where are you going?– To learn about something?

– To visit a far off place?

– To play a game?

• You should:– Know how to get there

– Know what you are looking for

– Have an adult with you (or nearby)





• What can you say?– About yourself?– About your family?– About your school?

• You should:– NEVER give your name– NEVER give your address– NEVER identify yourself in

any way– Unless your parent says

it’s ok





• When things go wrong…– You can’t find the website

– Your computer has a problem

– Something unexpected happens

• You should:– Get help from an adult





• Making friends online– It’s easy and fun

– Do you know someone is who they say they are? How?

• You should:– Tell an adult about the

people you meet online

– Never go meet someone in person without telling an adult first!
