The following is a list of rules that will be inserted in each of the student blogs and wikis that we set up.

The Rules Rule

In working with blogs all Horsham West/Haven PS students need to ensure that they follow these important guidelines. They are designed to make sure that you enjoy these spaces.

• Only ever use your first name when you are writing on this or other blogs or wikis.
• Never use any other student’s last name.
• Never post any personal information-such as your home phone number or home address on this or any other blog or wiki.
• Never share any of you usernames or passwords with anyone and never log in as another student.
• Always tell your parents or teacher right away if you come across anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.
• Remember the “grandma rule” that anything you put on the internet could be read by your grandmother so only write things you could say to the nicest of grannies.
• Be a good online citizen and never write or post anything that could hurt anyone else.
• Never make arrangements to meet anyone over the internet or share telephone numbers.
• Make sure you publish only your own work. Don’t under any circumstances use other people’s work and call it your own.
• Make sure that you read over your writing before you post it to check the spelling and that it reads okay.
