firewall and antivirus.

that attack our computer and steal our data.

can do so easily via email. If we are using a public network or a computer,
we must always log out once we are done.
If it is also very important to know that we must never click on a lik or an
ad in our email or on the Internet. Always ask an adult before doing so.

Before you sign up for a website, ask your parents for help and
supervision. In matters such as these, they know best.

AND
DON’Ts
OF
PASSWORD
MAKING
Never disclose your
usernames and
passwords to
strangers.
Do not use the
‘remember me’
options or save
passwords on a
public computer or
network.
Initially, consult
with your parents
before you create
a password. Once
you get the hang
of it, you can do it
on your own.
Run regular virus
scans on your
devices; say
every week or so.
Never store your
usernames and
passwords on a paper
or in an easily
accessible place.
29. LET’S DO AN ACTIVITY!
Start with a phrase. Think of a quote or
group of words that will be easy to
remember.
Example: I am in grade three.
Write down just the first letter of each word
in the phrase.
Example: I / A / I / G / T
Capitalize some of the letters. Example: I / a / i / g / T
Add one or two memorable numbers. Example: I / a / 3 / i / g / 2 / 6 / T
Memorize it. Repeat your new password in
your head so it sticks.
Therefore, you new password - Ia3ig26T
