As the new school year begins, students across Ohio, Indiana, and Michigan are returning to classrooms with smartphones, tablets, laptops, and other connected devices. Technology is an essential part of modern education, offering access to learning resources, collaboration tools, and creative platforms. However, being online also means staying aware of digital safety risks.<\/span><\/p>


<\/span>Teaching kids how to navigate the internet responsibly helps protect their privacy, secure their accounts, and keep them safe from potential threats. These simple tips can help students stay protected while they learn and connect online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Keep Passwords and Personal Info Private<\/strong><\/h3>

\u00a0<\/p>

Never share passwords or personal information with strangers. This includes full names, addresses, phone numbers, school names, and login credentials. Scammers and malicious actors often try to trick users into giving up private details through fake websites, social media messages, or gaming platforms.<\/span><\/p>


<\/span>Teach students to recognize when someone is asking for too much information. If a friend asks for a password or a stranger requests personal details, it is a red flag. Legitimate services will never ask you to share your password via email or chat.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Think Before You Post<\/strong><\/h3>

\u00a0<\/p>

Once it\u2019s online, it stays online. Posts, photos, and comments can be saved, shared, or screenshotted by anyone at any time. Even deleted content may remain visible to others.<\/span><\/p>


<\/span>Encourage students to pause before hitting \u201cpost.\u201d Ask yourself if you would be comfortable with a teacher, parent, or future employer seeing this content. Sharing inappropriate images, offensive language, or private information can have long-lasting consequences. Building a positive digital footprint starts with mindful posting.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Report Bullying and Uncomfortable Messages<\/strong><\/h3>

\u00a0<\/p>

If a student receives bullying messages, threatening comments, or any communication that makes them feel uncomfortable, they should report it to a trusted adult immediately. This could be a parent, teacher, school counselor, or guardian.<\/span><\/p>


<\/span>Standing up for oneself online can be difficult, but speaking out helps stop harmful behavior. Schools and parents play a vital role in addressing cyberbullying. Encourage open conversations so students feel safe reaching out when things go wrong.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Use Strong, Unique Passwords\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>

\u00a0<\/p>

Strong passwords protect school accounts, email addresses, and social media profiles from unauthorized access. A strong password includes a mix of uppercase and lowercase letters, numbers, and symbols. Avoid using birthdays, pet names, or common words like \u201cpassword123.\u201d<\/span><\/p>


<\/span>Students should use unique passwords for each account to prevent one compromised login from affecting others. Change passwords regularly, especially after sharing devices or noticing unusual activity. Consider using a password manager to keep track of complex credentials safely.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Avoid Clicking Suspicious Links\u00a0<\/strong><\/h3>

\u00a0<\/p>

Unsolicited emails and texts often contain links that lead to phishing sites or malware. These can steal personal data, install viruses, or trick users into entering login details on fake pages.<\/span><\/p>


<\/span>Teach students to hover over links before clicking to <\/span>preview the destination URL. If a message comes from an unknown sender or seems urgent, verify its legitimacy through another channel before engaging. When in doubt, do not click.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Log Out of Shared Devices<\/strong><\/h3>

\u00a0<\/p>

Shared computers and tablets are common in schools and libraries. Always log out of email accounts, social media profiles, and other personal services after use. Leaving an account signed in gives the next user access to private messages, photos, and personal data.<\/span><\/p>


<\/span>If a device does not offer a logout option, close all browser windows or use private browsing mode. This ensures no trace of activity remains on shared hardware.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Ask Before Using Public Wi\u2011Fi<\/strong><\/h3>

\u00a0<\/p>

Public Wi\u2011Fi networks at cafes, parks, or transit hubs are convenient but less secure than home internet connections. Data transmitted over open networks can be intercepted by hackers, putting sensitive information at risk.<\/span><\/p>


<\/span>Advise students to ask a parent before connecting to public Wi\u2011Fi. If connection is necessary, avoid accessing bank accounts, school portals, or other sensitive sites until on a secure network like MetaLINK\u2019s protected home connection.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

\u00a0<\/p>

Stay Connected Safely<\/strong><\/h3>

\u00a0<\/p>

Internet safety is about awareness, habits, and communication. By following these guidelines, students can enjoy the benefits of technology while minimizing risks. Parents and educators play a key role in reinforcing good online behavior through ongoing dialogue and support.<\/span><\/p>
