Editing Online Safety and Responsible Internet Use

🌐 Online Safety and Responsible Internet Use
🎯 Goal:
To help kids understand how to use the internet safely and responsibly.

🧠 1. What Is the Internet?
A place to learn, play games, watch videos, and talk with others.

It’s fun, but not always 100% safe—just like the real world.

🚨 2. Why Online Safety Is Important
People aren’t always who they say they are.

Some websites or links can have viruses.

Information you share can be used in harmful ways.

👮 3. Top Online Safety Rules
✅ DO:
Ask a parent or teacher before signing up for anything.

Use strong passwords (letters, numbers, symbols).

Keep your personal info private:
No full name, address, school name, or phone number.

❌ DON'T:
Don’t talk to strangers online or accept friend requests from people you don’t know.

Don’t click on pop-ups or unknown links—they might be scams.

Don’t share your password with anyone but a trusted adult.

💬 4. Social Media and Chat Tips
Always be kind online—bullying is not okay.

Think before you post:
“Would I say this in real life?”

Once something is posted, it can be hard to erase.

🧩 5. What to Do If Something Feels Wrong
Stop what you’re doing.

Tell a trusted adult immediately (parent, teacher).

Block and report the user if necessary.

🎮 6. Gaming Safely Online
Don’t use your real name in games.

Be careful chatting with other players.

Report bullies or players who make you uncomfortable.

📌 7. Summary: Be Smart, Be Safe
Treat the internet like a public place.

Use it for learning, fun, and connection—but with caution.

Think before you click. Ask if unsure. Talk if something feels wrong.
