Our First Blog - being Cyber Safe

Mrs Driver has helped to set up this blog space for us so that we can share our last eight weeks as Year 6 students of our school. We hope to share some of our learning that we are currently doing and reflections on how we have felt being at our school.

Mrs Driver first had a discussion with us about being safe on the internet and to develop some blogging rules we checked out what other rules school bloggers used too.

We will:


  1. Only use our FIRST name when writing

  2. Only use SENSIBLE and KIND words

  3. Not write any of our DETAILS - this includes phone number, address and personal email address

  4. Be careful when using IMAGES that we have correct permissions and give CREDIT where needed if we did not create the image

  5. Be RESPONSIBLE when using and writing on our blog

  6. Check with the TEACHER before posting our blog entry
We reviewed the video clip ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=seOQyMvG99w ) about Cyberbullying and understand that we need to use the internet in a responsible and safe way. We discussed that when we go on the internet we leave a digital footprint that is always there, so need to be mindful of the footprint we wish to leave.

This is a good way to start - you have to be safe out there! I look forward to hearing about your learning adventures. You might want to check out other NZ class blogs at http://tinyurl.com/classblogs
