9- Safe Practices for Life Online

1. Facebook, Twitter, Google+
2. Some students have become expelled, or even arrested for what they post on social networking sites such as Facebook. Teachers or principals browsing through will see something concerning and report it to a higher authority.
3. sexting- sending sexual images or messages over text message (Google)
    cramming- adding unauthorized charges to a person's phone bill (Google)
    cookies- packets of data  that are sent over the Internet to track the user or access to the server each time the browser is accessed
     trojan horse- a program that breaches a computer's security... used by hackers (Google)
     phising-taking money from an online account by posing as a real business (Google)
     spyware- allows you to get information about another person's computer activities by secretly getting data from their hard drive (Google)
      rootkit- tools used to gain control of someone else's computer without being found (Google)
      zombie- a computer that is being used for spam and illegal activities by someone other than the owner without the owner's knowledge (Google)
4. These are bad screen names because they either give out the wrong information or give a bad impression. "Trashmouth" would seem like a person who uses obscene language, while "IHaveOnePairPants" would make it seem as if the person is either really poor, or only likes to wear one pair of pants. "BoogerDude" and "Pig" make the users seem as if they eat their boogers, or a lot of food. These are not good screen names for students to have, especially if they are using them for professional purposes.
5. Someone with these screen names would get harassed because they imply that the user is just looking for romance or sexual relations. These would be prime targets for sex offenders, especially "Lookin4Luv" and suPaFlirt".
6. Tom_Evans34 gives away the name and age of the user; Missy-13 also gives away the name and age of the user; AndyKarateKid gives away the name and a hobby of the user; ViolinGurl gives away that the user is a girl that plays the violin; restlinmatch reveals that the user cannot spell and likes wrestling
7. i8sushi2- good, it does not give away personal information or generate negative attention;
    Soccerstar- this one could go either way, all you can tell about the user is that they are good at soccer (or at least they think they are), but it does give away information
    Puppygirl1234- this one could also go either way as it doesn't give away any personal information except that the user is a girl that likes puppies. However, it would also seem to be the account of a younger girl.
     KeKe1995- BAD, gives away the user's name and birth year
     Bookworm- good, doesn't give away personal information or generate negative attention (except from people who don't like nerds)
      2BorNot2b- good, no personal info
      Choco-holic- good, no personal info
      CapitlOfens- BAD, creates negative attention and seems suspicious
      AmericanIdol2- good, no personal info
      BellaIsabella- BAD- gives away a name and a nickname
      DarkAngel666- could go either way, it is not necessarily good, but it doesn't give away personal info, it would create negative attention, though
       Karla-Love-1996- BAD, gives away a name and a birth year
       SimplyMe- good, no personal info
       gUn4hiRe- BAD, this one might get you put on the FBI or CIA watch list
       babyfaceLA- BAD, gives away a location or maybe initials and would attract attention
       Watup?- good, no personal info
8. purplepenguins777
    bandgeek101
    ilovebooks
9. My password score is 4.
10. most common- Students give their passwords to their friends, who then decide to use it or give it to others who use it
       least common- a password-cracking program is used to crack their password
