Internet Safety

Blogs are very useful in people's daily life, but we should notice that there are also some potential dangers. Here are some tips for a safer blog.

1. Don't give away any identifying details. You are not expected to post  last name, contact information, home address, phone numbers, school's name, e-mail address, last names of friends or relatives, instant messaging names, age, birth date or other personal information.

 

2. Keep your own username and password. Do not share it with anyone besides your teachers and parents. 

3. You are supposed to post positive information. Bad language or taste would hurt your teachers, parents and peers.

4. Never post provocative pictures of yourself or anyone else, and be sure any images you provide do not reveal any of the previously mentioned information. Always remember to look at the background of a picture too.

5. Assume what you publish on the Web is permanent. That means anything you post online may become permanent in cyberspace and has the potential of coming back to haunt you. This includes using vulgar language, posting explicit images, or writing inappropriate content.  Imagine that a future employer or admissions counselor to your dream college is reading your blog because it’s entirely possible that they will a few years down the line.
