Blogging Dos and Don't

1. Students using blogs are expected to act safely by keeping personal information out of their posts. Do not post or give out your family name, password, user name, email address, home address, school name, city, country or other information that could help someone locate or contact you in person. However, you may share your interests, ideas and preferences.

2. Students using blogs should share their user name or password with anyone besides their teachers and paren and agree to never log in as another student.

3. Students using blogs are expected to treat blogspaces as classroom spaces. Speech that is inappropriate for class is not appropriate for your blog. But students are welcome to post on any school-appropriate subject.

4 If you receive a comment on your Blog that makes you feel uncomfortable or is not respectful, tell your professor right away. Do not respond to the comment.

5. Do not attack personally fellow students, employees, authors, customers, vendors, or shareholders. You may disagree with the school and its officers, provided your tone is respectful and you do not resort to personal attacks.

6. Do post any material that is obscene, defamatory, profane, libelous, threatening, harassing, abusive, hateful or embarrassing to another person or any other person or entity. Also, do not to post advertisements, solicitations and/or market and/or promote any business or commercial interest, chain letters or pyramid schemes.

7. Be careful not to violate copyright laws. If you are not sure is that reference is copyrighted, contact your professor before posting the material to your Blog.
