Guidelines



When posting, only use your first name, and when referring to others, use their first name only.

Never post personal information such as surnames, addresses, friend’s or family details, phone numbers, school details or online details such as MSN or Skype names.

Parents who post online are asked not to use last names.

If you come across anything that makes you uncomfortable let your teacher or parents know.

A blog or wiki are a public place that exist on the internet. Remember the golden rule: would you like Mr Burgess to read it? He probably will! What you write on the internet could always be on the internet; don’t write something that will come back to hurt you in the future. What you post online will be dealt with through the school Steps procedure.

All work must follow copyright laws; plagiarism will not be tolerated. Make sure you can use images or audio before you post them. That includes asking for permission if you wish to post an image of someone.

**Don’t believe everything that you read on the internet; evaluate for bias before forming your own point of view.**

When writing remember:

All work that you submit must be your own.

Proofread and edit your work carefully before you submit. No text talk, write in full sentences and do not use excessive punctuation!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (like so)

Also, please do not use smileys (=p) or emoticons

Comment on posts, not on people. You can disagree but must be polite. Humour is fine, sarcasm is not. Your post must always remain respectful, never post anything that is rude

Stay on the topic, a blog or wiki is not a place to socialise.

Blog and Wiki editors have the right to delete any comment that they find inappropriate or off task
