When you post something online - be sure it is appropriate (e.g. Don't post party photos, do post picture which make me look clever)
Avoid behavior that puts you at risk, both online and offline (e.g. don't tell strangers secrets, someone you are chatting with online... maybe a creepy old man)
Be kind to other people be constructive and friendly online (e.g. say nice thing about people and don't be nasty to others)
