Internet Safety!
What Second Graders Need to Know
The Internet is so cool and fun! You can use it to:
- Visit websites from all around the world
- Research interesting topics
- Play games
And much more!
But first, here are some rules for Surfing the Web:
- Ask for permission from an adult when you want to surf the Internet.
- Don't share personal information online (like your name, address, age, and phone number) unless an adult says it's OK.
- Keep your password private.
- Only visit websites that are for kids! (These are more fun anyways).
You need to be safe on the Internet just like you are in the real world.
- Never talk to strangers on online chat rooms.
- Tell your parents or teacher if something on the Internet makes you feel uncomfortable.
- Be careful when typing words into boxes on a webpage... have an adult check your spelling!
