- Limit your audience. There is a privacy setting that means you can password protect your blog so that only the people you want to see the postings have the password.
- Keep personal information personal. Not everyone reading your blog needs to know where you live, your phone number, last name, etc. There are so many people that can abuse that information so keep it to yourself.
- When blogging about other people, don't use names. Especially when blogging about your classroom it's not appropriate to use a student's name in a post or to label them in a picture. Keep them safe by keeping their name private.
- Know that what you post is permanent. The web is a public place and anyone can print out a post so even if you remove a post from your blog, someone may just have that post printed out.
- Keep your blog positive and don't respond to rude or embarrassing comments. When you keep a post positive it doesn't provide opportunity for a mean comment. If you do get one of these comments, don't respond to it or let it be posted. Delete it as soon as you see it.
