Cobra Parents and Guardians:
Help us keep your child cyber-smart. As we head towards winter break...and more free time on their hands...please talk to them about posting and sharing appropriate information only.
▪
Keep your personal information private.

Only add friends you know in real life.

Set your profile and blog to private.

Use a nickname that doesn’t identify your location, gender, or age.

Never meet in person with anyone you first met online.

Profile and photo share only with people on your friends list.

Don’t post
your plans or whereabouts on your site.

harassing or rude comments posted on your profile.

passwords often. Password protect your cell phone.
▪
Don’t post
information, photos, or videos you might regret later.
▪
Think about your online image (Who will see this? What will they
think?)
▪
Use privacy settings to limit access to your page; don’t let anyone – not predators or
cyberbullies - gain access to information that’s yours.
▪
Remember that online choices have offline consequences and in some
cases, legal implications.
Have a safe and happy holiday season!
