Students: Please make sure that you are using safe behavior when using the internet. Never give out your personal information to anyone on websites, and be extra careful when chatting on social networking sites with people you don't personally know. Sometimes people aren't who they say they are!
When writing papers for school, never copy and paste from the internet. Doing so means that you are plagiarizing, or stealing, someone else's thoughts and ideas which is illegal. Always give credit for using someone else's ideas by citing the work. Here's a great website to help with citations: http://www.easybib.com/.
After discussing internet safety with your parents and teachers, please read and sign the Kids' Contract. By following a few internet safety guidelines, you can be a savvy internet user!
