IM A CHATTERER

An online chat is any kind of one

on one communication

over the internet.

Good things: Online chats can build typing skills. It can also let kids communicate with friends even if they aren’t with each other.

Bad things: Online chats can be dangerous because kids could encounter online predators that can trick you into giving your real name or personal info.

You can only give out information

that won’t reveal any personal info about you, unless you are talking to one of your close

friends.

You should never give out information that involves your personal life such

as: your real name, pictures of you, your

school, address or your parents’ credit card

numbers

Remember, if you need

a screen name to be

in a chat always use

a nickname!

Being online

A flame war is when you insult someone and when someone is angry and takes it out on other people. You do not want to insulate people because you could start a flame war.

To prevent a flame war, be polite and never give out hurtful information because people will be offended.

 What you should do if you become uncomfortable with a topic or site you find on the Internet, you should get out the chat.

Slick The Spammer

Spam slows down your computer.

Normally spam comes from someone using a mailing list, or many people he sends the

same e-mail to.

Spam is like an infection, because once you get spammed, the amount of it will keep

growing as your e-mail address gets sold to other spammers.

Reducing Spam

2) Do not give out your e-

mail address (not very easy, is

it?)

1)

Set your e-mail

filters. It won’t stop

spam, but it will reduce it.

There are three ways to reduce spam. 3)

Report the spammer’s ISP,

which is not easy: it’s

practically rocket science. The spammer will send his mail through many e-mail

aliases.

INTERNET SAFETY

SURFER DUDE

The internet is a place

where you can search for

anything you want to. It is

also a global network.

Internet should be used to look up

information, look for jobs, or play games

that have information in them. `

WWW stands for world wide web. It is different from the internet because it builds

on top of the internet.

Browser is a program that allows you to access all the information

available on the web. Two

examples of a browser are,

Internet Explorer and Mozilla

Firefox.

A search engine is used to help you

find something that you are looking for. Google and ask are search engines that are geared towards

kids.

Three benefits from joining the

information super

highway are to get

help with homework,

it increases reading

skills, and to connect

with places around the world.

To promote

internet safety

you can block

websites that are

not appropriate

for kids.

You should NEVER give out your

passwords, address, telephone or credit card information over the internet.

Although, you CAN give out your world wide information.
