1 Internet safety is when you have no personal things online and know the websites you are on are safe for you, the people you are talking to, you and your family know them. 2 The dangers that we can encounter are computer viruses, hackers, identity theft, predators and bullies. These people use the computer to hide their personal identity and know they can get away with it. There are no cyber police and no one to look after the innocent. 3 Some things you can do to keep safe are to get programs that protect you from viruses or spyware, go on websites that you know well and you can trust, and don't post personal things on the internet as people can see this. The most important thing is don't talk to strangers!!!!!! 4 Parent and teachers can help by providing reasons why one should not go or do things on the internet. Use examples and explain. Provide rules and why. Keep computer in sight where one can go by and see what’s up.

The internet can be a very safe place if you use it wisely. You can learn more about something you don't know very well. Sometimes you must go on sites that you don't know, in that case go to sites that look real not ones that look weird. Also what you post reflects you to anyone who sees it. Virus won't happen if you don't go to websites that look wired. So the internet can be a very safe and be used to learn if you use it properly. But always remember there are always bad things on the internet but more good than bad. Also another danger is that you could get your identity stolen by going on to ads that look weird or strange. There is many things that thieves could use to steal your id. When someone goes duster diving and steal your mail, Phishing, when someone gives you an email and you go to the site that looks really real. When you enter your personal information the thief has won. Those are some things that the thief could do to take your info so be careful when you are getting wired emails. Look at the link to look at the dangers and how to be safe.
