Internet safety tips

• Know the dangers of the internet

Teach students about suspicious activity online and encourage them to ask for help if something seems unusual.

• Remember your identity is important

Remind students not to reveal too much information about themselves. Their date of birth, address, and SSN are all examples of personal information, and they shouldn't share them freely.

• Beware of strangers

It's important to teach students at a young age to be cautious online and tell an adult if someone they don’t know communicates with them or makes them uncomfortable.

• Watch out for phishing

Don't click on suspicious links in an email or social network message.

• Choose strong passwords

Create a hack-proof password by selecting a combination of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols, and make sure it's at least 12 characters long. Never use common words, phrases, or personal information like a phone number or family members names.

If someone messages you who hasn't done so in a while, be suspicious. Your friend's account may have been hacked. Don't meet any strangers you have talked to online! Not everyone is who they seem to be!Don't open unknown websites because they can have dangerous viruses.

Personal or inappropriate photos can attract online predators, or could affect future educational or employment opportunities.

3. Copyrights

Your online content, no matter its form, is easy to be stolen and claimed as their own by unscrupulous parties. When creating WWW content, you should take care not to infringe on someone else's copyrigts. The law protects every textual, musical, cinematographic, painting, graphic, photographic and other work, except for narrow legal exceptions and works for which the authors themselves have explicitly stated that they can be freely copied and used. Only those contents, that bear the copyright inscription, or the sign © (after the sign ©, the name of the copyright holder and the year of the first edition of the work are written), are protected.

The following are not protected as copyrighted works:ideas, scientific discoveries, procedures, working methods and mathematical concepts,official texts in the field of legislation, administration and judiciary, as well as their collections that have been published for official information to the public,daily news and other news that have the character of ordinary media information.

Other people's images, photographs, music sequences and similar elements of WWW pages may not be used without the permission of the author. If we do not get permission, we must continue to research further and try to create our own work.

In our works we can use other people's quotations, if below the quotation we state the name of the author and indicate the source in which the author's name is also found.

Copyright protection lasts for the life of the author and for another seventy years after his death and is subject for inheritance, which proves how serious this right is.

Numerous bloggers, as well as some portals, provide published works under certain conditions relating to the sharing, shortening and/or modification in commercial and non-commercial applications with, or without the obligation to publish the identity of the author. There are four Creative Commons rights, called Attribution (abbreviated by), Noncommercial (nc), No Derivative Works (nd) and Share Alike (sa).The Creative Commons logo usually has a prominent inscription below its short name CC: Some rights reserved.
