How do you stay safe on Facebook, and other Social Media sites? This is an essential question that many are asking, hoping to avoid cyber-bullying, identity theft and loss of privacy. Yesterday, I found this excellent infographic that simply explains some of the key attitudes and behaviours that everyone should use when setting up and interacting on Facebook. The infographic was designed by Fuzion, a marketing and PR design company that wanted to help educate students on how to use Facebook safely and easily.
The Fuzion team have provided this excellent infographic that clearly outlines the best practices and usage of a social media tools like Facebook, with insightful advice, helpful settings, and excellent strategies for dealing with bullies! They also have some strong advice for parents and teachers, and how they can be involved to help make Facebook and Social Media safer and friendlier for everyone. There specific advice for parents is:
We owe it to our kids to show them how to:
-
Set up their personal accounts properly
-
Maintain their privacy settings
-
Connect with “friends” safely
-
Think about what they post
-
Post appropriately
-
Spot and deal with inappropriate behaviour
-
“Unfriend” and Block certain users
-
