Blog Post #2: Blogging safety

Important things to remember about safe blogging:

1. Make sure you know who is reading your blog. Use your "settings" to control this.

2. Be careful what you put about yourself in your blog. Don't give away personal information.

3. If you are posting information, make sure it if from a reputable source and that you can backup anything you write (personal opinions, research references, etc.)

4. Only write what you want people to read/know. Once it's out there, it's out there!

5. If voicing personal opinions, be sure to speak your point of view, but try not to offend those who might read your posts. We are free to say what we want, but be sure you can handle the responses you may receive.

  2. I agree with the statement "once its out there, its out there!" Sometimes we feel a false sense of security when it comes to the internet. While usually the risk is small, student must understand and appreciate how information might be taken or used in the future. Celebrities know all too well the damage of an exposed comment, photo or video can cause, even if only accessible for mere minutes. Perhaps that might a good way of introducing the subject of appropriateness and security to students, through relating issues to celebrities and events they already know about.
