Keeping safe
Blogging and online use, is fun and a wonderful learning and sharing activity but you will need to follow these rules:-
• Think of a username (eg treasure) or use your first name, only.
• Do not use any other student’s last name
• Do not write about any personal information– eg your home phone numbers, mobile phone numbers (if you have one) or tell anyone where you live.
• Always use your school email address and student code name where possible.
• Keep your password to yourself and do not tell anyone what it is.
• Change your passwords regularly.
• If you do you find something unpleasant, unpleasant, distressing or just feel uncomfortable, tell your teacher, parents or an adult.
• What you write can be seen by anyone around the world. Remember that there are different cultures, terminology, protocol. What might be an acceptable word here, may offend others! Take care at all times. Your parents and grandparents can all read this.
• Digital citizenship means we do not ever aim to hurt anyone’s feelings or bully them.
• Never meet anyone you have met on the internet or give out phone numbers, without asking your parents permission.
• Make sure you publish only your own work. Take your own photos, create your own music. If you use online images make sure there is a creative commons license or request written permission from the owner.
• Read over your writing before you post it to check spelling and that it reads well before publishing or commenting.
• It is always good protocol to reply to a person who comments on your blog, by either emailing them back or commenting back on their blog. Conversations can then begin.
