We will share this information in class this week when we discuss rules of safety and netiquette. Click on the title The Core Rules of Netiquette to review Virginia Shea's advice in the excerpt from her book.
Rule 1: Remember the Human;
Rule 2: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real life;
Rule 3: Know where you are in cyberspace;
Rule 4: Respect other people's time and bandwidth;
Rule 5: Make yourself look good online;
Rule 6: Share expert knowledge;
Rule 7: Help keep flame wars under control;
Rule 8: Respect other people's privacy;
Rule 9: Don't abuse your power;
Rule 10: Be forgiving of other people's mistakes!
In addition to these seemingly common sense rules, we must also be aware of safety. Although we will be the only members of our blog, and therefore we will be the only bloggers to be able to post or comment, we will still protect our identities by not using any last names, addresses, or phone numbers. We will also refrain from mentioning the name of our high school or city. Those things probably wouldn't need to be mentioned anyway because we all know where we are.
If you decide to take on a pseudonym, only the teacher will know who you are unless you decide to tell others who you are. Pseudonyms, of course, should be classroom appropriate, since after all, we are theoretically still in our classroom! We shouldn't write anything that our grandmothers wouldn't want to read. (I'm one, remember?)

Lastly, below is a link that may be very enlightening for all of us and even our "larger audience" out there. Please click on the link to read a clarification of the difference between educational blogging and social networking. Networking sites like MySpace truly differ in content and language from educational blogging, and reading this link will clear up some of the challenges we will face as new bloggers. I hope to prevent any misunderstandings which could emerge over blogging expectations. The site covers dangers, safety, language, and benefits of a knowledge based site. Read on. We'll discuss this further in class.

Some Of The Students In Our Class Will Have A Hard Time Following These Rules..
these rules wil be hard for some kids to follow
i would be hard for some students to follow these, but other students might actually follow them so they wont get in trouble.
michael wasnt supposed to put his last name aahahahh
I don't think the rules are that big of a deal. People should be able to follow them
HaHaHa Everyone said the same thing. Thats so ridiculous.
this will be an intresting year!!
wow thies are some realy hard rules >_<
some of the kids in the class wont even bother with these rules....
these rules might be hard for some people to follow.
Wow this is crazy stupid. Were actin dumb lol.
Idk really to be honest.... If u were smart you would just use common sense to talk to pepole on here. If its gonna hurt someones feelings then why say it !?!?!? Oh well but, i think that we can use all of these rules and (common sense)sense to make this a enjoyable place for everyone.
cool stuff
I think the post was good since most people dont follow them which the should to become better people in life
this seems interesting
AMAZING
good info for life
cool info
the rules will be kindda hard for some kids in the class cause some of them dont even care about whats going on and they always brake the rules so whats the point of makeing them if they are going ta brake them and not follow them i follow them cause they are safe rules.
I believe it is safe to say nobody cares about the rules
