DANIEL'S STORY The common product of the Etwinning project I'm Using Safer Internet I Don't Leave a Digital Footprint

Daniel is a 12-years old boy in the seventh grade ... he loves to study and enjoys studying with his friends and then playing with them in his free time ... after the Corona pandemic and switching to distance learning ... Daniel became attached to using his tablet device to study and play .. Daniel became likes to play electronic games and use the internet ... Daniel's parents were concerned about Daniel's addiction to electronic games

Parents' biggest concern was the sharing of personal information on the Internet. What personal information did Daniel share while registering on their website? Were the passwords he used safe? Was it deleting information from accounts that it didn't use? Did he know how to change privacy settings on his Social Media accounts? Ahmet's family had sought professional help with privacy and security online.

Actually, Daniel can use the internet for his school lessons. Can code for the 21st century barber. Learn new software and make a robot man with block coding.

However, Daniel did not know enough about safe internet use and digital footprint. During this period, he opened new accounts on many social media platforms and made careless posts to his family. He gave personal information on the websites (forums, blogs etc.) he used. He was unaware of what could happen to him.

Suddenly, his friends began to warn him that he was sending too many messages with various advertisements, even some that contained viruses. Then, Daniel realized that his email account had been infected. Not knowing how to fix the situation, he asked for the help of a friend.

His friend advised him to install a program to detect viruses that affect the proper functioning of his computer. He also advised him not to access all the messages he receives in the future. Check the source first, make sure it is reliable. Now search together for the best antivirus.

We suggest Daniel to talk with parents what did he do. They could help him to cope with problems which cause adds with virus. What do you think the parents did to protect Daniel and their computer. What is the best antivirus program? They found Nord VPN, Avast Adaware, ATI VIRUS PROGRAM PRO, CCleaner, Hotspot shield, and internet Security. Which is the best?

Daniel shared what happened after his life with his family. His family informed their son together with an information technology teacher. Daniel has now decided to be more careful with the issues of secure internet and digital footprints

The parents thought of holding Daniel's birthday party and inviting their son Daniel's friends to celebrate ... Daniel felt happy during his meeting with his friends at home in the real world and not in a virtual world like electronic games ... The friends spent two hours having fun and eating together. In the evening, Daniel felt tired and went to sleep early that night, and fell asleep and did not stay up late to play electronic games as he usually does.

The next day, Daniel knew his mistake and that he was addicted and related to playing electronic games ... He spoke with his parents and realized that he had used technology wrongly ... his mother told him that he should spend less time playing games and use Internet for study and scientific research .. And in his spare time he has to go out and see his friends and play football with them and practice sports from time to time ... Daniel liked the idea and promised his parents to organize his time and listen to their advice on a permanent basis.

Daniel has always used the internet consciously since that day.He tried to leave very good marks on the internet and social media. It has created positive digital footprints that will contribute to internet users who will come after us in the virtual environment and encouraged those who do. With his digital footprints, his skills and interests have left traces that will be beneficial to others by creating positive content.Spared more time for sporting activities.

After finishing school, Daniel went university to study informatics. His main interest is internet security. He is developing new anti- virus software. Daniel goes in schools to teach children, how is safe to use internet
