Staying Safe Online introduction
• Introduction
In the following PowerPoint I will explain the importance of
staying safe online.
Now days with students and children having access to the
internet on computers, laptops and mobile phones it is
important we stay safe when online.
This presentation will explain the areas required to stay safe
online and to enjoy the internet safely.
Why stay safe online??
• As more and more of our lives are stored and spent online, it’s
hugely important that we understand how to protect both our
devices and our information from malicious elements online.
• Leaving your devices unprotected can result in anything as
small as a slower computer (not so small if you’ve got a
deadline coming up), right through to losing all the money in
your bank account, to identity theft.
• Just by taking a few of these simple steps you can improve
your safety on the web and stop yourself from becoming a
target online.
Tips for staying safe online
1. Don’t post any personal information online – like your
address, email address or mobile number.
2. Think carefully before posting pictures or videos of
yourself. Once you’ve put a picture of yourself online most
people can see it and may be able to download it, it’s not
just yours anymore.
3. Keep your privacy settings as high as possible
4. Never give out your passwords
5. Don’t befriend people you don’t know
Tips for staying safe online
6. Don’t meet up with people you’ve met online. Speak to
your parent or carer about people suggesting you do.
7. Remember that not everyone online is who they say they
are.
8. Think carefully about what you say before you post
something online.
9. Respect other people’s views, even if you don’t agree with
someone else’s views doesn’t mean you need to be rude.
10. If you see something online that makes you feel
uncomfortable, unsafe or worried: leave the website, turn
off your computer if you want to and tell a trusted adult
immediately.
Conclusion
• It is very important that we enjoy our time online and have
the ability to see lots of information.
• To prevent any type of bad experiences happening during my
online time I must be vigilant.
• If there are any opportunities for bad experiences to happen I
must not retaliate and must take the appropriate steps to
ensure I collect evidence and I inform an adult if necessary.
• Most of all, the internet can be fun and I will continue to use
the online media and applications, but will always be mindful
of any opportunities for not being safe online.
