Ask permission from an adult, like your teacher or parent, before you go online. They can make sure the places you visit are just right for you!
Don't talk to strangers online – they might not be who they say they are. Only talk to people you know in-person, and ask an adult for permission
first.

Technology and devices can be useful. But there are times when it’s best to put devices away.
Safety: There are times when your or someone else’s safety could be at risk.
An example is when somebody is crossing the street. If they’re on their phone when they’re crossing the street, they might not be able to see a car coming.
Respect for people: There are times when it hurts other people’s feelings if you are distracted and not paying attention to them.
An example of this is when someone is talking to you directly. If your friend is trying to tell you an important story, put down your game and listen. It's important to pause for people!
Concentration: There are times when you should give your full attention to a specific activity.
An example is when you are reading a book, doing homework, or even doing a craft. These activities require you to give a task your full attention, and sometimes having devices out makes it harder to concentrate on what you’re doing.
Sleep: There are quiet times, like bedtime, when devices should be put away.
Doctors recommend that people stop using devices at least an hour before bedtime because the blue light in the screen can affect how well you sleep.

he internet can be a safe and wonderful place.
But there are also places online where it is not safe for kids. How can you tell the difference?
How to Travel Safely Online
When traveling on streets, traffic lights keep people safe. You know already that a green light means you can cross a street.
A yellow light means slow down and get ready to stop and a red light means stop immediately.
Common Sense Education has created lessons for helping children be safe and responsible on the internet. They created the Internet Traffic Light to help you.

Q: What should I Q: What should I
The newspaper is full of examples of things that are safe and unsafe. Look at the pictures, articles, ads and comic strips. Clip out three examples of things that are either safe or unsafe. Glue each to a piece of paper and write a safety rule that applies.
