- Social networking site makes it very easy to share and broadcast information to one’s network of friends and contacts.
- Today’s technology makes it so easy to take pictures and share it to the world. Careful what pictures you share.
- Just like photos, embarassing (and maybe even incriminating) videos have a way of finding its way to Youtube and other similar sites and viewed by millions of users worldwide.
- Having a diary or a journal is an outlet for one’s feelings. It can be a good practice in dealing with emotions and finding people who share the same interests. However, there’s always that risk of revealing too much.
- Social media is instant. One click of the mouse and your message is broadcasted to the world. Be careful about what you say because you just might be forgetting who can read what you’re writing.
- While today’s technology makes it easy to share your information, it also makes it equally easier to find them.
- There are just too much websites, all giving information. You have to be very discerning as to which website can be trusted to be giving the correct information.
- Bullies can be found everywhere, not just in the playground
- Unlicensed applications, music and video files. Some of these files even come with a free virus or two.
- Because information is now easier to find, so are the inappropriate materials for kids
- Teach your kids about the importance of keeping safe online. Establish rules on computer and Internet usage.
- Advise your kids never to give out any personal information (for example, name, age, gender, or home address), pictures of themselves, or agree to meet someone in person, when using online chats. Make sure they know to tell you immediately if someone asks them for this information.
- Keep computer in full view so you know what your kids are doing online
