Introduction to Email Room 13

Online Safety Pledge

I want to use the computer for email. I understand that there are certain rules about what I should do online. I agree to follow these rules:
1. I will not give my name, address, telephone number, school, or my teachers’/parents’ names, addresses, or telephone numbers, to anyone while using school email.
2. I will not give out my email password to anyone (even my best friends) other than my teachers/parents.
3. I will not send a picture of myself or others over the Internet without my teachers’/parents’ permission.
4. I will not fill out any form or request online that asks me for any information about my school, my family, or myself  while using school email.
5. I will tell my teachers/parents if I see any bad language or pictures on the Internet, or if anyone makes me feel nervous or uncomfortable online.
6. I will never agree to get together with someone I “meet”  while using school email.
7. I will not use any articles, stories, or other works I find online and pretend it is my own.
8. I will not use bad language while using school email.
9. I will practice safe computing, and check for viruses whenever I borrow a disk from someone, download something from the Internet, or receive an attachment.
10. I will be a good online citizen and not participate in any activity that hurts others or is against the law or my school’s policy. This has to do with cyber-bullying.
11. Until the end of the school year I will only use this email account at school, unless my teacher gives me special permission.

Now that you have read this.  Post why you think one particular rule is important to the blog. Make sure to post your name so I know you have read it.   Mr. B
