Internet Safety


  1. "Visit only safe websites. Stay away from sites with flashing pictures, bright colors, and messy ads. Does the site make you uncomfortable? If so, leave the site right away. [1]"
  2. "Do you want to meet an online friend in person? Never do this without a parent’s permission. If you do meet someone, take an adult. Meet in a busy place like a library. [1]"
  3. "You can use Incognito Mode in the Chrome browser on your computer, tablet, or phone to browse the web privately. In Incognito Mode, the pages you visit and files you download aren’t recorded in Chrome’s browsing or download history. [2]"
    But what you share and who you share it with can end up saying a lot about you.
  4.  

    "To help create the best version of your story online, it’s good to know our first tip: think before you share. [3]"

  5.  

    "What’s this mean? That anything you post online, any message, picture, status update or blog post has the potential to be shared. If something you shared privately became public, how would that make you feel? And how might it affect how others think about you if they saw it? So it's always good to think about these things before you share online. [3]"

  6.  

    "Do not share or post your personal information online. Do not give out your last name, address, or phone number. Ask a parent before posting your photograph or


    school’s name. [2]"

What is the Wayback Machine?

Have you ever seen this on your computer? That is the Wayback Machine! Here's a example of using it: Your teacher asks you to get the oldest version of the PBS Kids website. But you don't know how! So, you type in https://pbskids.org into the first text box, go to it from October 13, 1999, and there! Slideshow below: (P.S. I can't get to it from then) Now, where is the Wayback Machine? It's at web.archive.org !

My New Computer (Acer Spin 3)

  So recently I got a new computer. So what are the differences? While, this laptop is a Windows laptop, which is new for me. This computer is an Acer Spin convertible, specifically an Acer Spin 3. One thing that this laptop has compared to my previous Chromebooks is that it has a Caps Lock key. So what is in this laptop? This has an Intel Iris Plus graphics card paired with an Intel Core i5 10th Gen processor, along with 8 gigabytes of RAM (memory) and 512 gigabytes of storage. WAY more than I need. So should you get it? Yes. Now, when should you get it? Your choice. You can get it now, or get it when it is not an outside vendor. And I forgot to say, it comes with a stylus. So how many stars do I rate it? 5 stars. And there is also a backlit keyboard, but you can turn that on or off with the F8 key. And you will need to turn it on to turn it off. But overall, the Acer Spin 3 is a good laptop. I recommend this laptop to anyone who needs a good Windows laptop. To actu...
