A few suggestions for Internet Safety include:
You need to be 14 to be on Facebook or My Space Sites. Therefore there should not be anyone at SKS that is on these sites.
If you have a site be careful what you put on it, because it is not as private as you believe it is. What you put on the Internet is there for all to see, if they have the right tools and know how to access these sites and it is there forever!
You never should provide personal information on the Internet.
You should never misrepresent yourself/age.
You should write only things you want anyone to see.
