Internet Safety Rules created by ePals. I wanted to share these rules with out students at McAdory Elementary. =ePALS SchoolBlog is a great place to learn new things and make friends all around the world. Here are some important safety tips that can help you have fun...safely!= If you have any questions about these safety tips, or about anything you find while surfing, we encourage you to discuss them with a parent, teacher or other trusted adult.
 * * **Do** show your parents, teachers and other trusted adults all the cool things you like to do online and tell them about the friends you're making.
 * **Do** be respectful when you're writing to or chatting with people on the Internet and treat them in the way you like to be treated.
 * **Do** ask your parent or teacher before you sign up for anything on the Internet.
 * **Do** get permission before you download anything from the Internet.
 * **Do** check with a teacher or parent before you send anybody pictures or other files.
 * **Do** let a parent, teacher or other trusted adult know if something unusual, upsetting or scary happens to you online.
 * **Do** remember to have fun, play it safe and enjoy all the neat things that ePALS and the Internet have to offer! || * **Don't** tell people your last name.
