Cyber Smart: Private & Personal Information

Please read the information below.  Print out your assignment sheet. It will be due tommorrow.

A GREAT PLACE TO SHARE IDEAS 

Cyberspace is a great place to learn, to be entertained, and to try out new ideas.  Suppose you visited a Web site where you could post your ideas about protecting wild animals.  Think how exciting it would be to have others read and respond to your opinions.  People around the world would read what you have written and tell you if they agreed. However, the site might first require you to fill out a form with your name, and the name of your school. What do you do?Computer with kids

 

 

 

 

PRIVATE IDENTIY INFORMATION

Stop and think, "Am I being asked to give out information that reveals who I am or where I can be found?"  These kinds of facts, shown in the chart, are called private identity information.  You would not give out this kind of information to a stranger on the street.  Nor should you in cyberspace.  When you communicate in cyberspace, you are dealing with strangers too.

 

So, protect yourself, your family, and friends by not giving out private identity information without permission of a teacher or parent.
