Think Before You Click

1. Before you post something on the web, ask these


questions to yourself: Would you want your parents
or grandparents to see it? Would you want your
future boss to see it? Once you post something on
the web, you have no control of who sees your posts.

Think Before You Click

2. Your friends depend on you to protect their


reputation online. Talk to your friends about this
