Digital Footprint
Hackers, Worms, Viruses
Worms are programs on your computer that can cause your computer to either crash, cause damage, or slow your computer down.
Viruses can seriously damage your computer by erasing files, videos or messages, drain memory, etc.
Grandma Rule, Passwords, & Citizenship
What is the Grandma Rule?
Think about what you have posted on any website lately. Is what you posted appropriate? Next time you go on a website and start to post something, use the grandma rule. Don't post something that you don't want your grandmother to see. Think before you post!
Passwords
When you are making an account on a certain website, you often have to type in a password. Make your password long so nobody can guess it, (about 21 characters) but make sure you can remember it too. NEVER reveal your password to anyone. If you have to write your password on a sheet of paper, hide it somewhere only you can find it.
Digital Citizen
A digital citizen is able to think critically about the ethical opportunities and challenges of the "digital world" and makes safe, responsible, and respectful choices.
the digital world is fun when you are safe!
