Irish Internet Safety Awareness Centre that promotes safer use of the internet by young
people
How do we do this?
We develop education resources that help teachers integrate internet safety into
teaching and learning in their schools
We provide information, advice, and tools to parents to support their engagement in
their children’s online lives
With the help of the Webwise Youth Advisory Panel we develop youth oriented
awareness raising resources and campaigns that address topics such as cyber bullying.

5. Whatever… it’s up to you
7. Activity 1: WYS: Comic strip
Be selective about who you become friends
with
Once you upload a photo, you’ve lost
control over where it appears, who sees it,
and what happens to it
8. Activity 2: Sharing personal information
online
Think before you share personal
information online
Take the time to understand the privacy
settings on your social networking
service accounts
10. Which photos are okay to share?
The Granny Rule is useful when trying
to decide if a picture should be shared
online.
If you wouldn’t show a picture to your
granny then it probably shouldn’t be
online!
11. When photos go viral
Within minutes a photo can be
shared with thousands of people
online!
Report photos you think might upset
a friend or get him/her into trouble
12. Agree an online code
Bullying won’t go away if we do
nothing but it can if you do something
about it!
It is up to us all to make sure that
there are no more tragedies.
13. Activity 3: Debate the issues
Privacy settings online give you control
over who can see what you share online
Once you share an image online it’s
there forever
No one should take or share pictures of
you in places where you expect privacy
17. Golden Rules
Be selective about who you become friends with online
Think before you share personal information online
