Online Safety

Here are the online saftey rules for you to ensure you are safe online –

  • Only ever use your first name or a nickname when you are writing on this or other blogs or wikis.
  • Never use any other student’s last name.
  • Never post any personal information–such as your home phone number or home address on this or any other blog or wiki.
  • Never share any of your usernames or passwords with anyone and never log in as another student.
  • Always tell your parents or teacher right away if you come across anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.
  • Remember that anything you put on the internet could be read by anyone at all, so only write things you could say to someone in person.
  • Be a good online citizen and never write or post anything that could hurt or upset anyone else.
  • Always tell your parents or teacher right away if someone asks for your phone number or to meet you.
  • Never make arrangements to meet anyone over the internet without telling your parents.
  • Make sure you only publish your own work. Don’t under any circumstances use other people’s work and call it your own.
  • Make sure that you read over your writing before you post it to check the spelling and to make sure that it makes sense.
