Never use the internet to spread gossip, bully, or hurt someone’s reputation. Never post an online threat against a person, school, business, or organization. You can be charged with a crime for doing so. Don’t share personal information with people you view as “friends” online.
Keeping Students Safe in the Digital Age
We all lead digital lives. Being constantly connected can open our students up to a world of opportunities. But with those opportunities come certain risks and the possibility for exposure to inappropriate content and potentially dangerous situations.
Think Before You Post or Tweet
Although many high school students know the basic ways to stay safe online, they also must commit to being ethical online users. Here are three important things to keep in mind:
- Post what you feel comfortable with the world which includes parents, teachers, college admission personnel, and potential employers seeing.
- Never use the Internet to spread gossip, bully, or hurt someone’s reputation.
- Never post an online threat against a person, school, business, or organization. You can be charged with a crime for doing so.
Avoid making online friends
Don’t share personal information with people you view as “friends” online. This includes your name, address, phone number, financial information, and school name, as well as any passwords or other private information.
