Internet Safety Activity Book
Hello students, As your Attorney General, part of my job is to help make sure you stay safe. I would like to introduce you to my friend, Ellie, the eagle. You will see her throughout this activity book, along with tips on how to stay safe when you get on a computer, tablet or a phone to use the Internet. The Internet is a place where we can find a lot of useful information, connect with our friends, find cool apps and play games, but it is important to know how to navigate online safely. I hope the activities in this book will be both fun and informative, so that you can feel secure when you surf and know how to react when you encounter potential dangers. If you have any questions, talk to your parent, guardian or teacher. Remember to be smart online,

Private information That’s Private! You might think it’s OK to answer lots of personal questions if your dad just introduced you to your great aunt, Patty, at a family reunion. But what if you are asked for the same information on the Internet? The safe answer is “no” − even if your favorite cartoon character asks you to enter a contest or you need to ask an expert a homework question.
What’s Private? ■ full (first and last) name ■ street address ■ name of school ■ school address ■ email address ■ phone numbers ■ passwords ■ mother’s maiden name ■ parent’s place of work ■ photos in which you can be recognized
What about Passwords? You might have a password to use a school computer or email. Passwords protect you. Only share your passwords with your parent. And never give your password to other people online.

how to handle cyberbullies Recognizing Bullies Whether bullies are face to face or online, they feel powerful when they bother other people. They may use hurtful words or make threats. Often the online bully is someone you know in real life. Perhaps the bully finds it easier to be mean online, when he or she can’t see the other person’s reaction. Online or offline, bullying is meant to make you feel uncomfortable. Usually, online bullying does not cross over into real life, but it can. Either way, it’s upsetting.
Taking Action Bullying should not be tolerated, whether in school or in cyberspace. Trust your uncomfortable feelings — they mean something may be wrong.
Take the following steps: ■ Sign off of the computer. ■ Leave the chat room or website.
Take a screen shot of hurtful dialogue and show to a trusted adult.
■ Block the bully’s messages. ■ Save and print the bully’s emails or your message logs. ■ Never reply to a bully. ■ Report your experience to a parent, teacher, or other trusted adult.
