Take the Quiz:
Always / Sometimes / Never
I limit personal information shared online.
I think before I post!
I remember my online presence is like a digital Sharpie, I know it can never truly be erased. I never post or say anything I wouldn't want my grandmother to see or hear.
I understand where my information is coming from and who created it.
I check facts I find online if it's a new topic, a claim, or something that doesn't make sense. (#fakenews)
I respect others privacy and do not share their photos, numbers, names, information or their ideas without their permission.
I don't spread misinformation or rumors in texts or when we're hanging out online.
When I'm sharing or publishing photos, information, quotes, I give credit by citing my source.
I never post or share a photo or image of somebody else, without their knowledge and permission.
I get help when something scares me or makes me feel uncomfortable when I am online.
I know when to question a source.
I always respect the person behind the screen, (myself and the other people).
