Descriptive study conducted in the months of August and September 2013 with 35 students of Primary Education II, of a public school in the city of Fortaleza, Ceará, based on an interview guide. According to the results, LAN houses or cyber cafés were the most frequently reported locations for internet access, and Facebook was the most widely used social media. According to the respondents, internet use was relevant to establish relationships. Most claimed they used the internet in a proper and safe way.
