Be Yourself.

Dear Students,
Walking across the street? Learning to drive? The first thing involved in any new experience is learning the rules.  In the blogging and internet world, these rules still apply. Just as in walking across the street, we need to look both ways. While there are positive benefits to the internet world, we also must be cautious to the possibilities of negative outcomes too.

1. Sois sympa!
Be nice. Online, anywhere. Friends are friends no matter where they are. So are classmates. Treat them the same way you would wanted to be treated.

2. Protect yourself.
Passwords are similar to locker combinations- keep them to yourself! It is important to protect your privacy in the online world just as it is to protect your personal posessions.

3. Look in the mirror.
Respect yourself and what you post. Pictures and even the smallest words can have great consequences. Make good decisions.


4. YOURspace
Dont post personal information about yourself. Questions such as your gender, age, place of location, looks and email are not appropriate to be sharing over the web. Only share this information with someone you can trust in a face to face relationship.

5. Think. Pair.Share.
Tell an adult if any suspicious person contacts you or you are intimidated by any subject matter you come across. Stick to sites, resources and people you are familiar with. Report anything that may scare you.

6. Explore Within Your Reach.
Use additional links and websites to help you along the way. Links will be posted along the way to give you additional practice or restate the lesson for the day. Be sure to stay within websites of the class in order to gain the correct and relevant information.

Have fun, and enjoy staying connected~!
