CHOOSING SCREEN NAMES

screen name – sometimes even your name, your age, and where you live

Don’t use your first and last name togetherDon’t include your age in the nameThink about what message your screen

name sends.

PASSWORDS Passwords

Passwords are important because if someone finds yours out, they can learn private things about you, send out hurtful emails under your name, and really cause you problems.

Passwords should be a mixture of lowercase letters, upper case letters, numbers, and maybe even punctuation

Never keep your password written down near your computer.

Don’t share your passwords with anyone besides your parents. Not even your friends!
