  1. How to stay safe online A guide for students

  2. e-Safety e-Safety relies on selecting appropriate privacy levels, knowing how to behave online and understanding the risks of using the Internet and mobile technologies

  3. We will be looking at 5 main areas of e-safety • Social Networking • Email • Chatrooms and Instant Messaging (IM) • Cyberbullying • Mobile phones

  4. Social Networking Social Networking platforms are basically websites with applications which help connect friends using different tools like blogs, profiles and photos

  5. Social Networking Be careful what information you give out on your profile. Remember that you don’t know who your friend’s friends are…or your friend’s friend’s friends... Do you know all of your online friends?

  6. Social Networking You don’t know what they’ll do with your picture or your personal details if you give them out. Don’t forget once a picture is out on the net it’s out there forever and may cause unfavourable attention and unwanted consequences…..

  10. Email General Rules Legitimate banks and businesses NEVER ask for your password or personal details by email. If it seems to good to be true…IT IS! You can’t win a lottery you haven’t entered! If you’re not expecting an attachment in an email be suspicious. Contact the sender BEFORE opening it! If an email is from someone you don’t know and contains an attachment do NOT open it – just delete it. If you are not sure an email is genuine call the bank/business/person that emailed you and confirm it was them that sent it.

  11. Chatrooms and Instant Messaging (IM)

  12. Chatrooms and Instant Messaging Even when you have been chatting to the same person for ages and you think that you know them, remember it’s very easy to lie on the internet…

  13. Chatrooms and Instant Messaging • Be careful not to share too much information in chatrooms, you don’t know who is listening • If you wouldn’t be comfortable yelling it out in a crowded room, it’s best not to write it in a chatroom
