Cyber safety is something we all need to be aware of and we need to educate our students/children. The safety blurb below should be shared with students and discussed at home.
 * __SAFETY__**


 * Here are some rules for us to follow: **
 * **Only** ever use your first name 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 you 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 ** the “grandma rule” that anything you put on the internet could be read by your grandmother so only write things you could say to the nicest of grannies;
 * ** Be ** a good online citizen and never write or post anything that could hurt anyone else's feelings;
 * ** Always ** check with an adult 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 publish only 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 that it reads okay.
