4Trooper Wittner's Resources

Clicky, Nettie and Webster to Speak about Internet Safety

Clicky, Nettie and Webster from Netsmartzkids.org, wiil visit all FFCS kindergarten through fourth grade students. They will help Melanie Capron and Trooper Wittner talk to the children about Internet safety, during their Computer Class.

The day will feature two talks, one for Kindergarten through second grade and another for  the third and fourth graders.

The children, in Kindergarten through second grade, meet “Clicky”

Ms. Capron, Trooper Wittner and Clicky will talk about two basic rules. First, “Always tell an adult you trust if something or someone makes you feel scared, uncomfortable, or confused.” Second, “I will ask my parents or guardian for permission before sharing my personal information.”

The children will visit “Webville”, where they will help Trooper Clicky round-up “Look-at-Dis Louie” and “Want-to-Know Wally” and put them in jail, for being bad “Netizens”

  “Look-at-Dis Louie” sends mean and ugly things in email, over the Internet, and is things that kids do not want to see.

“Want-to-Know Wally” is a snoop and wants to know  everything about the child and their family. This includes their names, their parent’s names, their address and telephone number.

Trooper Wittner and Trooper Clicky will discuss with the children what to do if: anyone asks for their personal information; anyone makes them feel scared, uncomfortable, or confused; or they receive an email from someone they do not know.

The Third and Fourth Graders meet Nettie and her younger brother, Webster

Nettie and Webster will introduce the kids to the “bad guys” of the Internet. They are called “Wizzy Wigs”. This comes from “WYSIWYG”, or “What You See Isn’t What You Get.”

The students will hear about Spamozoid, Hot Head, Oogle, Numbutt and Follow-You Fiona.

“Spamozoid” sends emails to everyone, even people they do not know. They include creepy pictures and viruses, which can be bad for your computer.

“Hot Head” uses mean and ugly words to burn people when they are communicating on the Internet.

“Oogle” hangs out in the web and watches where you go, and try to figure out how to get a hold of your personal information.

“Numbut” stays glued to their computer screens (including Game Boys, X-Bots, Play Station 3, Nintendo and television). They do not go outside much, to play with their friends, or do anything.

“Follow-You Fiona” is the most dangerous of the Wizzy Wigs. “Follow-You Fiona” hangs out on the Internet and pretends to be your friends. They want you to tell them your name, address and telephone numbers so she can follow you around.

The children will play “Who’s Your Friend on the Internet”. After listening to three different potential “friends” describe themselves, the class will pick a curtain for the person who they want to be their “friend.” The children will discover that all of the potential “friends” are Wizzy Wigs and learn “on the web” you can never tell who you are really talking to.

Trooper Wittner, Melanie Capron, Nettie and Webster will review three basic rules. First, “I will not meet in person with anyone I first “met” on-line.” Next, “I will always tell an adult I trust if anyone or anything makes me feel scared, uncomfortable or confused.” Finally, “I will ask my parent or guardian before I share my personal information.”

The children will play “Which Wizzy Wig is Which.” In this game, the children are given clues  to figure out which Wizzy Wig was being described.
