Common access to the Internet brings huge activity, especially among kids and youth, in the aspect of using its resources. Internet may give an opportunity to develop a person but may be a source of many dangers, especially for its youngest users. The results of using the Internet are appointed by the time which is spent being „online” and the quality of the content which are encountered and actions taken. In the elaboration some results of research concerning children’s and youth’s Internet activity on different educational levels. On the grounds of the analysis I attempted to present indications to pedagogical work directed to minimise dangers consequent of unaware using the Internet.
