Master Digital Communication Safety and Online Protection Skills

You will learn important rules for staying safe when you use computers and tablets to talk with others. Internet Safety Rules help protect you online. Digital communication means using technology to share messages, pictures, and ideas with other people.

You should never tell strangers online your real name, where you live, or where you go to school. This personal information should stay private. Your home address and school name are secrets that only your family should know.

When someone you don't know asks questions about you, don't answer them. Tell a grown-up right away if this happens while you play games or use the computer.

Your password is like a special key that keeps your games and information safe. You should never tell anyone your password, not even your best friends at school.

Keep your password secret so only you can use your computer games and accounts. This protects your work and keeps strangers away from your information.
