STAYING SAFE ONLINE
E-SAFETY Internet safety, cyber safety, e-safety and online safety all mean the same thing being safe on the internet! Safe - Never give your personal information to people that you do not know. Meet - Never arrange to meet with strangers. Accepting - Never accept emails or messages from people that you do not know as they might contain a virus. Reliable - Not everything that you read on the internet is true. Tell - If anything upsets you on the internet always tell a trusted adult.
ACCEPTABLE OR NOT ACCEPTABLE? Are these behaviours acceptable or not acceptable? 3. Forwarding an email to your friends, which you have been sent. It says horrible things about someone that used to go to your school. 1. Giving out your contact details to someone you have met online and who has indicated they live locally to you. 2. Allowing someone to shoulder surf over you whilst you re on a bus.
FAKE NEWS ISNT JUST IN ARTICLES Have you seen fake news in any of these formats before? Groups, e.g. on Facebook Statuses, stories, videos, tweets Forwarded messages and photos from people you know
S H A R E Make sure that the story is written by a source you trust, with a reputation for accuracy. If it s from an unfamiliar organisation, check for a website s About section to learn more. Always read beyond the headline. If it sounds unbelievable, it very well might be. Be wary if something doesn t seem to add up. Make sure you check the facts. Just because you have seen a story several times, doesn t mean it s true. If you re not sure, look at fact checking websites and other reliable sources to double check. Check whether the image looks like it has been or could have been manipulated. False new stories often contain retouched photos or re-edited clips. Sometimes they are authentic but have been taken out of context. Many false news stories have phony or lookalike URLs. Look out for misspellings, bad grammar or awkward layouts.
