Blog post #2

The top ten list for safe online blogging:


1.Passwords:
Yours and only yours – keep your passwords protected, meaning only you and your trusted family.

2.Personal:
Keep all information about yourself and friends and family protected.

3.Pictures:
Think before you post. 2 main points to that:
      a. If it is meant for a club, it’s not meant for online.
      b. No information in the background (ie house numbers, license plates)

4.Never ending:
What goes online can always be copied and kept online. Hence think before you post.

5.Know your site:
Before you use, know the terms and agreement page for what is and is not allowed.

6.Public Warning:
These sites are public and anyone can read from your boss to parents

7.Control:
If you can’t control it don’t use it.
       a.Use passwords to control use
       b.Always filter information
       c.Never forget about your blog (it can mean your job)

8.Rules:
With any class room there needs to be a clear and defined set of rules.

9.Access:
Allow family of younger students to see view.
If the occasion allows, have the family join in.

10.Your Job:
As with anything you do as an instructor keep in mind two things
        a.Does it conform to the jobs rules and regulations?
        b.Does it conform to state, federal, and international laws?

You cannot teach from the unemployment line or from behind bars
