Safe Blogging for Students

Using blogs is exciting, but don't haste to start posting. Here are some tips for safe blogging which are better to be kept in mind.

1. Keep your personal infromation out of your posts. You are not expect to post or give out your family name, password, username, e-mail address, home address, school name, city, country, or other infromation that could help someone locate or contact you in person. Your interests, ideas, and preferences are free to share.

2. Your username and password is your own secret. You are not expect to share them with others. And you should never log in using others' names.

3. You are expected to behave properly, treating blog spaces as classroom spaces. Consider whether your posts are appropriate for class before posting. You are encouraged to engage in debate and conversation with other bloggers. However, you should not forget you are also the manner representative of yourself.

4. You will receive comments on your posts, most of which are respectful or helpful messages. If you happen to receive any comment that make you uncomfortable, please contact your teacher, do not response to that comment.

5. Take care of your computer by not downloading or installing any software without permission, and not clicking on ads or competitions.

These are only some basic items to pay attention to. Here are some links to other useful sites for safety. View them as you like.
