Internet Safety

The Internet is a wonderful and fun place, but its also like the real world - it can be unsafe sometimes too. These are some ways that you can stay safe while surfing on the Web:

Don't give out your personal information like your address, phone number, or your school information.
Don't ever get together with someone that you have met online.
Don't do anything that hurts other people or is against the law.
If you feel uncomfortable about something you've seen or read on the Internet, let your parents, teacher, librarian, or other adult know.

These are some cool and fun websites that have more info on Internet Safety:
