Say YES to cyber safety!
Blogging Guidelines The Internet has a global audience and online safety is of the
utmost importance. Through blogging and use of web 2.0 tools,
you will practice digital citizenship in an authentic and
supervised setting. The blog and linked web 2.0 tools are an
extension of the classroom and school rules apply. Teachers
moderate the class blog and embedded web 2.0 tools. We will
not approve comments that are not school appropriate. Ask
yourself, “Would I say this to the principal?” If the answer is,
yes, feel free to post. If the answer is, no, keep in mind, BIG
BROTHER IS WATCHING.
Digital Citizenship Cyber ethics: Use the habit of mind, Managing Impulsivity. Post
comments that are respectful and relevant to the topic. Strive
for Accuracy, use complete sentences, check your spelling, and
be succinct and considerate.
Cyber safety: As Tim and Moby remind us, be safe! Don’t post
personal information like your full name, address, phone #,
email, etc. Do you remember playground rules like “Stranger
Danger?” Think of the Internet as a global playground. Let’s
keep it safe.
