In my first post about blogging and teaching I mentioned how scary I thought children posting online was. Now I would like to offer three safe blogging tips I have learned that.
1. Screen what your children plan to post beforehand. This can go for parents and teachers, together if everyone is screening they know that information will not be leaked out that can be potentially dangerous. Even tiny information such as a mascot of the school or a picture of the town could easily let someone know where the author of the post is from.
2. Ask yourself or your children if they are comfortable showing the content they posted to a stranger. If there is any doubt in your mind or hesitation do not post it!
3. Obviously do not post very personal or detailed information about yourself, or even friends for that matter.
If we are protecting our identity then we should be aware and out to protect our friends as well. Be aware of what you are posting, be cautious, and know that whatever you post on the internet stays there.
