"The Cloud"
In many ways, this is a good thing. But, in some ways - not so much. While the world has grown closer together, we're also closer to those people who would try to hurt us or take advantage of us. Most people are good - but it's easier than ever for those that aren't to target people who aren't prepared, or aware of the dangers.
So, you've just met a student who has NEVER been on the internet. Their family just moved to the area, and just signed up for internet access at home for the first time. Knowing what you know right now, what would you warn that person about? What would you tell them to be careful of, when they're on the Web? How would you tell them to behave - what precautions should they take?
You don't have to look this up - base it on what you already know - what you've already learned. You CAN research a little on the internet, if you need to...
Tell them on how to not click on the pop up adds. To set up parental controls so the younger children if they have any would not be influenced by the bad sides of the internet.
ReplyDeleteyep
DeleteI agree, clicking on those could result in a virus on your computer.
DeleteClicking on the ads can be bad or when one of those things that say you have won $1,000 dont click on it. It is most likely a virus
DeleteI would tell the student to stay off the internet its evil http://toastytech.com/evil/
ReplyDeletecopy and paste that link
DeleteNo No No don't do it
DeleteLook into things first
DeleteWhat happens if you c/p that link?
DeleteWhen on the Internet you should be careful of people you don't know, they might try and hurt you or even try to get your personal information. You should also behave while on it, you shouldn't bully or hurt someone else's feelings while on it.

DeleteYeah Cassi, gotta behave on the internet & don't bully kids.
Deleteyour personal info should deff stay to yourself so it does not get stolen.
DeleteDon't give out your personal information like your address or even your last name. It's not that good to show your face, atlas I wouldn't want to. When an add appears on screen, it's probably best to not download it even though it says it'll help your computer's speed because it's most likely going to give a virus to your computer and slow it down.
ReplyDeleteYeah if you give your personal info they will hack you
DeleteOr hunt you down
DeleteGood idea about not giving any of your personal info out. Viruses are very bad for your computer too. Good ideas Justin.
DeleteThat's good advice to not give your personal information out.
DeleteThe things on the internet are watch out for virus's. If you click on a link with a virus your computer will have to be fixed and brought to someone who can take them off and then the computer is usually slower.
ReplyDeleteThat's true Jonny.
DeleteIt is actually possible to fix software or malware viruses yourself, I have learned the hard way, but it it is possible. Hardware viruses however are near impossible fix with re-writing the base codes.
DeleteEverything isn't safe on the internet.
ReplyDeletesmart thinking bud
DeleteThats true
Deletemarcus is wrong. everything is safe internet. why wouldn't it be?
DeleteThat's right.
DeleteNever give up anything that they could use to find you.
DeleteA virus is really bad for computer because they slow them down and it could even make your computer crash because a virus takes up storage. Good job Jonny.
DeleteTrue true.
DeleteWhen you are using the cloud you should be careful of posting too much information about yourself or be careful of hackers.
ReplyDeleteTrue, true.
DeleteAnd don't click on pop ups
DeleteId tell them not to go on the internet because its bad. Don't go on it
ReplyDeleteTrue
DeleteYes the internet is scary.you have to watch out
DeleteRight Right
DeleteThe internet can be a very good tool, and it is not going anywhere so we need teach people the right way to use it.
DeleteGood thinking Jordan
DeleteHey kid you have to be careful for all of the virus's! You need to be careful for some of the websites too. You have watch out for hackers. You don't want to post any personal information and any personal pictures of you! The cloud is scary!
ReplyDeleteYou're right
DeleteYes, it is important to watch out for people trying to get all your info, which can really screw up your life.
DeleteYeah people always try to get your info
DeleteYou should probably be careful about hackers on the internet, don't post a bunch of your personal information where other people can access it either. Remember, there's always going to be someone out there who will be able to get ahold of it, so make sure there's not anything that you'd be ashamed. Also even if you delete a picture or a post you made years ago, it's still going to be out there somewhere.
ReplyDeleteRight Right
DeleteThat's the same idea as mine.
DeleteI would tell them to be careful of hackers and don't share your password to anything or your phone number. Don't tell anybody where you live and good chance if somebody says they know you there is a very small chance they actually do and anything you ever post with be out there for ever, even if you delete it.
ReplyDeleteNEVER talk to strangers or creeps...
ReplyDeleteGood thinking Cole.
DeleteYup there are a lot of them
Deletethats really true you get in to some deep stuff by doing that epically if you set up to meet them in person
DeleteDon't share your private info, don't click on pop-up adds, don't trust what everything says.
ReplyDeleteYeah then they could hack you
DeleteIt is very rare that anyone would hack you, I mean, have you ever been hacked? and how much info of you is out there? My guess is a lot. Unless you have something of worth, AKA credit card, social security #, or bank accounts, they will most likely leave you alone.
DeleteJonny was hacked 2 weeks ago.
DeleteYou always have to be careful on the internet because once you post something everybody can see what you post. If I were you I would try and stay off of social media because the only thing that it does is bring up drama. Just use the internet for researching for homework and Netflix. Be careful what you do on the internet.
ReplyDeleteIf you are safe and be careful with what you post social media is fine.
DeleteNever put pictures of your self on the web.
ReplyDeleteIf someone who has never been online, just got a computer and got on the internet, I would tell them that. I would watch out what you post and what you say on there . because you cant delete stuff off the internet and there people trying to cause you harm on the internet. It is important to think about what you are doing online because you can get hurt, and also you can hurt others with your remarks.
ReplyDeleteFirst two words; Be Careful. Step one; don't click on anything that pops up. Those are invested with malware and viruses which can destroy your device. Step two; careful on what you click, I'm not saying don't click on anything, just check what the source is before hand. Step three; Google is your friend. So far I have never gotten a virus by using Google Search or Maps. If you are looking for entertainment, youtube or a simple game webpage would be ideal. Certain game websites will require java, but it's OK! Java is a simple download and it's not necessary for all games. And finally, Step Four; Social Media. It's a widely used, international phenomenon which has everyone connected in some way it seems. (I personally don't have any social media; aka Twitter, Tumblr, Facebook, Snapchat, Skype, or Instagram) But if you have an inexperience with the internet, I don't recommend creating an account. And final words; Wether you are using it for work or play, the internet is a whole other world, so play nice, be careful and have fun!
ReplyDeleteTo another commenter;
What do you think of this advice? Am I missing anything? What would you add?
Not all social media sites are bad if use them correctly and don't share personal information.
DeleteYou have to be careful on the internet because there are people who try to scam you with fake ads and websites. You can get viruses on your computer from those. Don't talk to strangers because they could be a different person than who they say they are.
ReplyDeletepeople that use computers know you have to becareful one pop up add can lead to six diffrent viruses or problems thats may come up with your computer because you clicked on the add and no sharing personal info unless on a trusted site
ReplyDeleteI agree never trust pop up adds that say your getting something free and they scam you for your information .
DeleteI would tell them not to give personal information out to random strangers and not to tell them your name because they could come and hurt you. And to be careful what you post because it is out there forever and can get posted and reposted over and over so you need to be careful for yourself and others.
ReplyDeleteYeah, giving too much info about yourself is really dangerous.
