Federal Bureau of Investigation Cyber
Division, n.d

IDENTITY SAFETY
Tips for Students:
Don't give out personal information,
for example:
- your address, phone number, or school name unless you
have permission from you parents.
Look out for scams, especially in emails, that ask for your personal
information.
Never agree to meet with anyone you meet on the web. You never know
who is on the other end.
Use passwords that only you can remember.

("Identity safety," n.d.)
IDENTITY SAFETY
Tips for Educators:
Use complicated passwords that only you can remember.
Do not use your birthdate or last name.
Change your passwords often.
Understand that online photos and videos CAN be copied and
altered.
Do not download files or links in emails sent to you by people
you do not know.
Your students safety is important to you. Advise them on how to
be safe on the Internet as well.

("Identity safety," n.d.)
INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT
Has been defined in the Children's Internet
Protection Act as
- visual depictions that are obscene, child pornography, or
material that is "harmful to minors."
Teachers make sure and block all inappropriate websites
Increase Privacy and Security by limiting downloads, using
antivirus and antispyware software, individual user accounts,
also double check web browser security settings, and
MONITOR students online
If you suspect something review the History list to see what
sites the student has visited.
Carnegie Mellon University , 2014
INAPPROPRIATE CONTENT
Each time students are allowed on the
computer remind them
to Avoid going to sites that may lead to inappropriate images
of any kind.
Do not use sites that they have not heard of.
Do not search for any explicit topics in a search engine.
Do not use any internet portal instead of using the assigned
web browser that your school has provided for you.
(center for safe schools, 2014)
**Staff remember that whatever you post online in your personal life
can be copied by anyone who sees it. So please do diligence
when posting on social media sites. It can COST YOU your job!**

PIRACY & PLAGIARISM
Causes of plagiarism in secondary school setting:
May fear failure or fear taking risks in their own work.
Poor time-management skills
Students may not know how to integrate the ideas of others and document
the sources of those ideas appropriately in their texts.


PIRACY & PLAGIARISM
According to the Council of Writing program Administrators,
2010, We can help by
Administrators need to foster a campus-wide climate that values academic
honesty
Faculty need to design contexts that encourage students not to simply recycle
information
Explain Plagiarism and Develop Clear Policies to the
students
If you suspect plagiarism ask students for documentation.
Take Appropriate Disciplinary Actions, but understand
there is a difference between misuse of sources
and plagiarism.
