Do not put anything on it that you would not want someone to see. Addie McKenzie

Be clear, be appropriate, never post personal information! J.C. Honer

Be wary of posting anything about yourself that will come back to haunt you later on in life!! Never do bad things and then record them for posterity--the very definition of stupidity. Also, don't listen to any nasty hateful comments made by anyone--it reflects on their lack of character, not yours. Mrs. Foss

You would not hand out index cards containing your photo and all your personal information on the street to complete strangers, so why post it on the internet for them?  Lisa Murray
 
Good advice so far! One more good idea: don't forward anything inappropriate. And remember that it would be awful to lose your dream job, not get into your favorite college, or lose someone's trust because of the action of a "friend". Google your own name every 2 weeks to make sure nothing fake is out there with your name on it. Mrs. Techman (Librarian/Tech TEacher from VA)

Use correct grammar and punctuation when posting information or e-mailing.  Electronic communication may seem informal, but you still want to present yourself in the best light possible.  You want to show people that not only do you have good writing skills, but that you care enough to use them!  Mrs. Lynch

Be aware of the fact that there are databases that keep a log of everything we do on the computer/internet nowadays. Even if you think you deleted unwanted information, if someone wanted to retrieve that information, s/he probably could. Another incentive to be even more careful of what you post.
-Frau O'Brien

don't give out your password to anyone, even your best friends. you never know, you might have a fight and they could log on as you and post stuff that you wouldn't want anyone to see. don't post anything that you wouldn't want your parents to know about, thats the rule i follow-colleen walsh
