Read Heads-up. Describe two guidelines from each section that you think are relevant advice. May 9 kuni

Share with care Your online actions can have real-world consequences. The pictures you post and the words and the words you write can affect the people in your life. Think before you post and share. The advice, mainly for children, is that before you click to send email or when you're ready to post or send a message or a photo, download a file, game or program, or shop for something-stop for a second. Think about things like: Do you know and trust who you're dealing with-or what you're sharing or downloading? How will you feel if your information ends up somewhere you didn't intend? Get someone's okay before you share photos or videos they're in. Online photo albums are great for storing and sharing pictures of special events, and camera phones make it easy to capture every moment. Stop and think about your own privacy-and other people's-before you share photos and videos online. It can be embarrassing, unfair and even unsafe to send or post photos and videos without getting permission from the people in them. Interact With Tact Avatars are people too. When you're playing a game or exploring an online world where you can create a character and interact with others, remember real people are behind those characters on the screen. Respect their feelings just INTERACT WITH TACT like you would in person. Remember that your character or avatar is a virtual version of you-what does it tell people about you and your interests? Speak up. If you see something inappropriate on a social networking site or in a game or chat room, let the website know and tell an adult you trust. Using Report Abuse links can help keep sites fun for everyone. The Protection Connection Learn about social mapping. Many mobile phones have GPS technology, and there are applications that allow you to find your friends-and allow them to find you. Use GPS and social mapping apps only with people you know personally and trust. Take advantage of privacy features in
