- How To Be Safe Online
How to communicate online safely
When we are speaking online you should always think about what you’re going to do and if it can get you into lots of trouble. You should not give your private information to everyone you speak to, because there are many hackers online.
How to speak to AI chatbots responsibly
Whenever you are speaking to a chatbot you need to know that they do not have feelings and their personalities are programmed.They do not have empathy for you even though they act like they do.Do Not tell them your personal details and think about what you might say or send.
Why you should be careful with what you say/send
The reason you should be careful with what you say is because it can be saved and screenshotted which could be used against you and it will be your word against your word.Many people have started saving things on chat without the sender knowing they have! That’s why you think before you do. Over the years technology has gotten more and more complicated and advanced which means there’s more risk in sending online .

Think about what you’re clicking and what you are agreeing to
Be kind
When talking online it is important that you do not use rude words as some people are sensitive so think before you type it down and maybe ask if they’re OK if they have been experiencing rudeness online.
Think about who you are talking to
Sometimes it is not always who you think you are talking to, sometimes it is an AI or an AI Chatbot. Robots are being programmed at this very minute to adjust to our daily activities and they are starting to sound more and more like us.These robots do not have emotion so if you tell them that you are feeling sad they might not understand, if they do it is highly likely that if they do show some sort of sympathy it is a response that they have been programmed to say.
Do not show your private and personal information
It is dangerous when you share personal info for example if you tell them your address they will know where you live, if you tell them your name and your age they will effortlessly be able to spot you out from the biggest of crowds. And with your email and codes they might hack into your accounts and do some dangerous things.
Always know who you are talking to
It is extremely significant to make sure who you are talking to as you might be giving personal information to a stranger. Some people might have a code word that they have to say when they enter a game or start a group chat. This is something that you can use to assure yourself that you are with the people you know. People try to intrude all the time so please check.
Talk to an adult if you get worried
If you see or hear something online that upsets you, talk to an adult. It could be the computing teacher or a teacher or your parents. It all depends on what you are most comfortable with. If there is no one there that you can talk to, maybe you could put a stop to what you are sad about or delete what you have seen and take a time out from screens to refresh your mind of the world.
