LESSON 2 Rules of Netiquette Online security, safety, and ethics Internet threats Protecting reputations online Copyright Contextualized online search and research skills At the end of this lesson, the students should be able to: 1. consider one’s and others’ safety when sharing information using the Internet; 2. consider one’s and others’ reputation when using the Internet; 3. determine and avoid the dangers of the Internet; 4. be responsible in the use of social networking sites; and 5. browse the Internet efficiently and properly through proper referencing. Online Safety and Security The Internet, truly, is a powerful tool. It can be used to promote your business, gain new friends, and stay in touch with the old ones. It is also a source of entertainment. But like most things in this world, there is always “another side of the coin.” The Internet is one of the most dangerous places, especially if you do not know what you are doing.  Internet Threats: 1. Malware – stands for malicious software Types: Virus, Worm, Trojan, Spyware, Adware 2. Spam – unwanted email mostly from bots or advertisers. It can be used to send malware. 3. Phishing – Its goal is to acquire sensitive personal information like passwords and credit card details.  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. 2. Your friends depend on you to protect their reputation online. Talk to your friends about this serious responsibility. 3. Set your post to “private.” In this way, search engines will not be able to scan that post. 4. Avoid using names. Names are easy for search engines to scan. 5. If you feel that a post can affect you or other’s reputation, ask the one who posted it to pull it down or report it as inappropriate. COPYRIGHT INFRINGEMENT If you create something—an idea, an invention, a form of literary work, or a research, you have the right of how it should be used by others.
