Ethics in Researching Using the
Internet
1. Never copy internet materials
without acknowledging the
source and/or the author. You
should properly put the
appropriate reference of your
source.
2. Do use a single source. Always
double check the information
that you get from one source
with two to three other sources.

Ethics in Researching Using the
Internet
3. Do not misquote your source.
Understand the information of an
online writer based on the context
of what s/he is talking about. Do
not use selected words or
statements of others detached from
the total picture of what their
message is all about in order to just
suit your own objectives.

6. Things to Remember when
Engaging in the Internet
Rules of the Road for Kids by Common Sense
Media
1. Guard your privacy. What people know
about you is up to you.
2. Protect your reputation. Self-reflect before
you self-reveal. What’s funny or edgy today
could cost you tomorrow.
3. Nothing is private online. Anything you say
or do can be copied, pasted, and sent to
gazillions of people without your permission.
4. Assume everyone is watching. There’s a
huge, vast audience out there. If someone is
your friend’s friend, they can see everything.

7. Things to Remember when Engaging in the
Internet
5. Apply the Golden Rule. If you don’t want
it done to you, don’t do it to someone else.
6. Choose wisely. Not all content is
appropriate. You know what we mean.
7. Don't hide. Using anonymity to cloak your
actions doesn’t turn you into a trustworthy,
responsible human being.
8. Think about what you see. Just because it’s
online doesn’t make it true.
9. Be smart, be safe. Not everyone is who
they say they are. But you know that.

8. There’s More…….
1. Be Nice – it seems like a no-
brainer, but if you’re nice to
someone, they have no
reason not to be nice right
back!
2. Be Clear – since it’s so easy
to misunderstand someone
without seeing or hearing
them, be sure to keep your
meaning clear. A lot of fights
could be avoided if people
tried hard not to be vague.

9. 3. Be the Better Person – if
someone is being mean to
you, don’t be mean right
back or you could find
yourself in a Flame War. It
takes the better person to
just walk away from an
argument.
4. Be Careful – if someone is
really bothering you
online, tell a trusted adult
about your experience.
This way, you can enjoy
the Internet without
worrying about being
