Web Page- Anything that is put on the web is open to the public and the author knows it will be used for other purposes.

Fair Use Rules for Media

“An act of fraud. Stealing someone’s work and lying about it afterwards.” ("What is plagiarism?," 2012)

You can avoid Plagiarism by referencing someone’s work when using word – for – word or paraphrasing, or telling information in your own words

Teachers can use technology to help prevent plagiarism by using the program turnitin.com. This program allows students to turn their work in and an online database will check to find the percentage of work already written.

Plagiarism

Some factors you have to be aware of when working on the internet are identify theft, reputation management, passwords, cyber bullying, and cyber stalking.

Identify theft occurs when someone uses your personal information (name, address, banking information, etc.) they find on an online website. You have to be careful the site you post this on is a protected site.

Reputation management ensures that you don’t let the internet lead you into visiting sites you don’t want to.

Safety on the Internet

Passwords on the internet always need to be private and not easy to hack. A lot of hackers on the internet are able to hack passwords including initials, birthdays, phone numbers, etc.

Cyber bullying occurs when you or someone else posts comments, images, or videos about someone or something. The bully never lets the person know who they are and feels protected because they are doing it online.

“Cyber stalking is harassment on the internet” ("Internet safety: Get" ). This occurs mostly to women/girls and can be from someone you know or a complete stranger.

If any of these safety hazards occur to you, always report them.
