 Some Tips to Stay Safe Online:

1. Be mindful on what
you share online.
 Think Before You Click

1. Before you post something on the web, ask these questions to

yourself: Would you want your parents or grandparents to see it? Would
you want your future boss to see it? Once you post something on the web,
you have no control of who sees your posts.
2. Your friends depend on you to protect their reputation online. Talk to
your friends about this serious responsibility.
3. Set your post to “private.” In this way, search engines will not be able
to scan that post.
4. Avoid using names. Names are easy for search engines to scan.
5. If you feel that a post can affect you or other’s reputation, ask the one
who posted it to pull it down or report it as inappropriate.
