Internet Safety Tips

Notes from i-safe America video
1.  Have positive resources
2. Beware of pop-up ads; kids are more likely to look.
3. Typo squatting -- when popular names are spelled wrong they come up to inappropriate sites. This is done purposefully.
4. High tech teasing and cyber bullying--now teasing goes beyond the playground, affects the student at school
5. Cyber bullying leads to depression, suicide, and murder.
6. People online may not be who they say they are.
7. Predators will pretend to be someone they are not to become friends with children. Don't chat with people you don't know.
8. i-Safe America, how to have a positive experience on the internet
9. Don't give your agency to someone else
