Internet Safety

It's important that you stay safe while conducting online searches or using an Internet source. The following recommendations come from A Parent's Guide to Internet Safety, a publication of the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

• Never meet in person with someone you've met online.
• Never upload pictures of yourself to someone you don't know.
• Don't give out information about yourself such as name, address, school name, or phone number.
• Don't download pictures from an unknown source.
• Don't respond to messages from strangers, or bulletin board posts that are suggestive, obscene, or harassing.
• Always remember that people you meet online may be dishonest about their identity.

I try to make sure that the online tools I suggest are safe, but we can't be too careful! Always protect your identity and safeguard your personal information.
