Thank you for attending an eSafety presentation on Internet Safety. The following pages
contain some of the main points from our information seminar along with some recommended websites for future use. Please visit www.eSafety.ie for more information on what we do along with some useful information and downloads in our Parents Zone. Cyber bullying: “Cyber-bullying involves the use of information and communication technologies to support deliberate, repeated, and hostile behavior by an individual or group, that is intended to harm others." What to do if it happens? 1) Donʼt respond and donʼt reply. 2) Save a copy of whatever has made you feel uncomfortable. 3) Tell someone immediately. Digital fingerprint: Once something is posted online, be prepared to have it there Forever. If you wouldnʼt post it on a billboard in the city center you shouldnʼt post it online. Be responsible about what you put on the internet now as it can have serious consequences in the future. |  |
Social Networking sites:
“In order to be eligible to sign up for Facebook, users must be thirteen (13) years of age or older.”- facebook.com
Remember that you donʼt know who your friendʼs friends are, And you donʼt know what
theyʼll do with your picture or your phone number if you give it out by mistake.
Once your picture is out there, itʼs out there forever and you wonʼt be able to get it back.
Be aware that information on your profile could potentially be viewed by anyone.
Use your Privacy Settings. Adjust your account settings so only approved friends can
instant message you. This means that people you donʼt want to see your profile canʼt!
What are the basics?
You're out in public- when online.
Privacy features - giving you control.
Just because you can post anything doesn't mean you should.
The fact is you just shouldn't meet people in person who you only know from the Internet.
If you do, make sure you do so in a public place and bring along at least one friend – the
more and bigger the better.
Never, ever,
