Today’s Kids: Not Just Surfing the
Web, But Actively Contributing
 Like adults, kids create and
share content with others
online.
 Most online teens have a
profile on a social
networking site.
 The Internet continues to
change and evolve at a
breathtaking rate!
 Because kids go online from many locations, parents
need a comprehensive strategy.

and don’t scold or they might withhold!
Learn with and from your children about how the Internet
continues to change and evolve.
Help children realize they may not be getting the whole – or
most accurate – story from one source (online or off ).
Learn about the tools of the trade: ask whether sites intend to
inform, persuade, or entertain?
Examine values and beliefs behind websites, blogs, and
streaming videos – and consider how what you post online
reflects you.
Use Parental Controls
 Place Internet-connected computers in common areas
of the home.
 Set rules about when and how long children can go
online – and what they can do online.
 Monitor what they are doing online. Employ parental
controls whenever available on websites.
 Install software to filter/block sites you deem
inappropriate for your family.
 Make sure you have up-to-date virus protection, a
firewall – and regularly scan for adware/spyware.
Set Rules for Internet Usage
 Do not give personal information to online strangers.
 Do not post pictures or videos that could be used to
identify you.
 Do not meet in person anyone you have met only
online.
 Treat others as you would like to be treated.
 Cheating, plagiarism, stealing, and vandalism are
wrong online, as in the “real” world.
 Tell your parent if anything makes you uncomfortable.

Registration and Account Security
Facebook users provide their real names and information, and we need your
help to keep it that way. Here are some commitments you make to us
relating to registering and maintaining the security of your account:
1. You will not provide any false personal information on Facebook, or
create an account for anyone other than yourself without permission.
2. You will not use your personal profile for your own commercial gain (such
as selling your status update to an advertiser).
3. You will not use Facebook if you are under 13.
4. You will not use Facebook if you are a convicted sex offender.
5. You will keep your contact information accurate and up-to-date.

your account.
7. You will not transfer your account to anyone without first getting our
written permission.
8. If you select a username for your account we reserve the right to remove
or reclaim it if we believe appropriate (such as when a trademark owner
complains about a username that does not closely relate to a user's
actual name).
Protecting Other People’s Rights
We respect other people's rights, and expect you to do the same.
1. You will not post content or take any action on Facebook that infringes
or violates someone else's rights or otherwise violates the law.
