    Here are some ways to be responsible online:

                      Think  before you  post:  Once something  is shared online, it  can be seen by
     DIGITAL            anyone, anywhere and often for a long time. Even if you delete it, it may not be
                        completely gone. Before posting, ask yourself, “Would I be okay with everyone
     RESPONSIBILITY     seeing this?” Think about how it could affect others before sharing.

                      Be kind: Treat others online as you would in person. If you wouldn’t say something

                        face-to-face, don’t say it online. Online communication can be tricky because
                        we can’t hear tone of voice or see facial expressions. Always be respectful, as
                        words can hurt even if unintentional. Follow the given tips:

                         Celebrate others with positive comments like, Great job! or Well done!.

                      Stay safe: Be careful about what personal information you share. Never share

                        your full name, home address, phone number, school details or passwords. Use
                        privacy settings on websites to protect your details. Always ask a trusted adult
                        before sharing any personal information online.

                      Be careful with online friends: While the internet lets us make friends worldwide,
                        remember  that  not everyone  online is who they  say they  are. Never  share

                        personal details with someone you haven’t met in person. Follow the given tips:

                         Always tell an adult if someone makes you uncomfortable.
                         If meeting someone in person, do so in a public place with a trusted adult.

                        seen by anyone. Before posting photos, videos or messages, think about how it

                            them.
