Introduction

The use of computer technology in everyday life grows rapidly nowadays. Computers and the Internet have become an indispensable tool in learning and work and even become part of our leisure time.

Internet access and information online extend the social possibilities of the users and increase mobility and the chances of success in life. Consequently, those people who have access and effectively use the Internet, occupy an advantageous position compared to those for whom this access is limited.

Almost all the possible tools of self-expression, communication and finding friends are concentrated in social networks. That is why they are so popular among teenagers.

Along with the positive moments of Internet usage, the evidence about the negative impact of the Internet grows. Most of the world`s money is stored in computers. Clever criminals are likely to use computers and the Internet, not guns, to steal it. Moreover, there are any other dangers for people on the Internet. All types of fraudulent activity are great problems for modern world. Therefore, frauds use different methods to cheat people and it is the problem of my project.

It is necessary to know that fraud in Internet its activity for people who have special skills. For example: talented programmers, hackers and even bank

4. Practical step

4.1 Conducting and making a survey

 I paid attention that some people in my family and friends have bad experience with the Internet network. It`s time to find out how often they encounter this problem.  For this reason, I conducted a survey among 100 senior students of our school.  

I asked them to answer the following questions: (Supplement1)

1. Which information should you never tell in the Internet?

2. Do you have a filter (ban on visiting non-offensive and dangerous sites)?

3. Do you have mobile Internet on your phone?

Analysis of diagram№2 (Supplement 2)   to the question: “Is there a filter on your computer (a ban on visiting unwanted and dangerous sites)?” indicates that only 5% have a filter installed, while 95% do not have a filter.

     After analyzing the diagrams, we can draw the following conclusions that the participants in my survey are poorly informed about Internet security.

4.3. Creating an informative booklet for the Internet users.

In order to familiarize users with the rules of the safe Internet, I decided to create a booklet - "User Security on the Internet."

A booklet is a sheet edition printed on both sides of a sheet and folded in any way into two or more folds. One of the main advantages of the booklet is the brevity of the presentation of the most basic, most necessary information, and, of course, the convenience of its perception.

The aim of the booklet is to give the necessary information laconically and attract readers` attention. That`s why my booklet is bright and attractive.  (Supplement 3)

While creating the booklet, I tried to observe the following rules:

• I have fulfilled all the conditions of the assignment, and the information is available on all pages of the booklet;

• images from those that I have selected are relevant to the content;

• in my written presentation there is a suitable style and sense of audience;

• I used the recommendations for computer text and color to create an attractive, neat and interesting booklet. I used a suitable font size and line spacing, which improved readability.

5. Concluding step

5.1. Project design

At this stage, I have entered into the system all the data on the project and formed a project plan. And then I created an information booklet for the Internet users – «Security of users on the Internet». (Application 5)

5.2. Self-rating

          Environmentally friendly material – paper was used in the production of the booklet. Usage of informative booklets will not lead to changes in the environment and violations in the life of a person.

While working on the project, I had to look for new ways to solve this problem:

- use new working methods such as analysis, a survey for which questions are independently developed;

- to analyze the results of the study, build diagrams, draw conclusions;

- use your creativity to create a booklet

The booklet is made carefully, have aesthetic qualities (beauty, harmony).

• determined the basic rules for the safe use of the Internet;

• identified a color scheme that will match. Picked up the right font and drawings;
