Are you SMART online?

Each question in this quiz relates to a different SMART rule. Good luck!

Question one

Your friend is a keen film maker, and loves sharing videos online. One of his videos is public though and shows his road name and house number. You’re not sure it should be online. What do you do? (Select the best answer)

Nothing, it’s his decision and up to him what he shares.
Report the film to the website, without telling your friend, to see if they will remove it.
Call your friend and suggest that he takes the film down; it’s best not to share any photos or videos on the internet.
Talk to your friend about personal information and help him set his privacy settings.

Question two

Your friend has commented on a photo online, making a joke, but has upset some people by doing so. How can you help to make things right? (Select the best answer)

Report your friend directly to the website. At least if the comment is gone, no one will see it anymore.
Make another bad joke on the thread, it might lighten the mood!
Talk to your friend and help them see that they have upset people. Help your friend to remove the comment and apologise to the others.
Get involved in the conversation and hope that no one argues with you too. Say that your friend did not mean to upset anyone.

Question three

You receive an email from someone you know, with a picture attached. The photo is of a pupil in your year group doing something embarrassing, and you’re sure they don’t know it’s being sent around. What should you do? (Select the best answer)

Delete the email. Your parents share your email password and you’d rather they didn’t see the photo.
Upload the photo online so that your friends can see it too!
Tell an adult you trust. You know the person in the picture will find this upsetting, and someone needs to be the first person to help.
Let the person know that the photo is being sent around. You don’t want any further involvement as it’s made you feel uncomfortable.

Question four

You’re playing an online game and you notice a player whose username you find disrespectful. Within the game they’re also saying some unpleasant things and telling other players that they don’t belong in the gaming community. What do you do?

Leave the game immediately. You don’t want to get caught up in any trouble.
Ignore it. Everyone has the right to free speech and can call themselves whatever they want. People should learn how to take a joke.
Report the player to a moderator and block them.
Confront the player and let them know how you feel.

Question five

Your friend has told you about a great website to use for your homework. You have a look and aren’t too sure that it’s reliable. What do you do? (Select the best answer)

Advise your friend not to use the internet for homework. What’s wrong with using the library?
Use several websites to check that information is reliable each time you search online. Remind her to check anything that she is unsure about with an adult too.
Nothing at all. Let her make her own mistakes!
Tell your friend that she needs to look at two websites each time she searches for information.

Question six

A new pupil has joined your class. You know that someone has created a fake profile of them online and has uploaded photos and videos behind their back. The comments are mean and the new pupil doesn’t know. What do you do? (Select the best answer)

Nothing at first. Someone else will probably tell the teacher.
Report the content as bullying, so that it can be removed and tell an adult what is happening.
Let them know about the images so that they can tell someone.
Make friends with the account, so that you can post kinder comments.

Question seven

You receive a friend request from someone that you’ve heard of, but haven’t met before. They’re a friend of a friend. Do you accept the request? (Select the best answer)

Of course, you’re fairly sure that your friend wouldn’t be friends with them if they were a stranger.
Accept the request and then ask them a few questions to decide if you like them, and want to remain friends.
Ask your friend who they are and if they’re nice. If your friend says they’re ok, then accept the request.
Do not accept the request. Even if your friend has met them, that doesn’t mean that you can trust them with your personal information online.

Question eight

You and your friend have shared your passwords with each other. You notice that your friend isn’t doing very well in your multiplayer game and you want to help them improve. How do you do this? (Select the best answer)

Talk to your friend about personal information. Create new private passwords and share tips with each other about the game instead.
Reassure your friend that they’re doing OK and let them play the game as your character, to help them feel better about themselves.
Secretly ask the other players in your game to play badly so that your friend feels better.
Log in as your friend and make their score ten times worse. They’ll find that so funny!

Question nine

Your friend has been chatting online to someone for a few weeks now and can’t believe that they have so much in common. They’re thinking of meeting up and are deciding on where to go. What do you tell your friend? (Select the best answer)

Tell them they need to bring a friend with them and can’t go alone.
Get them to tell an adult they trust immediately and suggest that they report the online ‘friend’ to the police. Do not speak to that person again online.
You’re far too busy at the weekends with your own activities, so you don’t have time to get involved.
Tell them to meet in a public place so that they can be seen by others.

Question ten

Your friend has started to share videos on their social media page containing opinions that you don’t agree with and they’re making you feel uneasy. What do you do? (Select the best answer)

Talk to a parent or teacher and explain why you’re worried about the content.
Let your friend know that it upsets you and ask them to stop sharing the videos.
Say nothing; you don’t want to offend your friend and it’s up to them what they share.
Report the videos that you don’t like.
