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.
Netiquette Ned• Netiquette is the etiquette of the internet.• The basic rule of netiquette is remember the
person you are talking to is a human. Which means treat them the way you want to be treated
• You should stay away from using all capital letters because it is considered shouting & impolite.
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.
• An emoticon is icon that shows emotions.
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!

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.
