Betty teaches you the importance of keeping your OFFLINE identity separate from your ONLINE identity

Cyber Defender & Clubhouse Supervisor
Betty learned the hard way about sharing too much information online when rumors she had spread through her online blog upset some of her friends. Since then she has made it her goal to educate everyone about what information is inappropriate or unsafe to share online to prevent others from getting hurt.
As a Cyber Defender, Betty focuses on the most important information you should never share online, your offline identity.

Online Games
I enjoy playing those social online games. Sometimes I make a character that just sits around town trading things with people. I enjoy socializing. But sometimes people can be so rude. I've had people say things to me that they would never have used if this were reality.
A good rule of thumb is to always be courteous when playing an online game. Treat others as you hope to be treated and behave like you would in real life. Just because you are playing a game doesn't mean you can throw manners out the window.

Chat Rooms
I love going to chat rooms. You can meet such interesting people there if you know how to look and what to say. But chat rooms can be dangerous too. Just the other day I was in a room where a man asked for my home address. It scared me a bit. If I had slipped up and answered him, he would know too much personal information.
No matter what you do online you must be careful about what personal facts you share. A good idea is to never tell anyone on the internet anything that can be used to track you down.
