 * Wiki Etiquette for Students - How to act on a wiki.//(linked from PBworks.com)//
 * **Keep safe** . Never post your personal information or information about someone else. Keep things like ages, addresses, phone numbers, names of towns, or even places we work off the Internet. Remember that information on the internet, especially embarrassing information, may still be around after you've deleted it. Be careful not to post things that may come back to haunt you later.
 * **Be truthful**. Write things you know to be correct using facts from research __//from reliable, credible sources//__.
 * **Ask first, then give credit.** Ask an artist's permission to post their photos, pictures or pieces of writing. Never use first and last names of people that could identify them in a photo or video. You must also ask permission when using an idea from a friend, a family member, or even from an acquaintance. After you have his/her permission, then you must ask if you can post his/her name to give him/her credit. If you know anyone who is breaking any part of this rule, it is very important to tell someone who can help immediately.
 * **Be nice.** The most important thing to remember is sarcasm hurts. Be overly friendly and be positive. Remember ... treat others as you would like to be treated.
 * **Read, re-read, and proof-read before you click ENTER.** Don't rush to make that final . Once you press that button, you can't bring it back. Look everything over and use your spell check to be sure everything is accurate. When you are certain that the editing is complete, then __**save**__ to publish.
 * **Information please.** The Internet is a great source of information but information is only useful when it is accurate.
 * **Be brief, to the point and logical.** Use breaks in your text and formatting elements to make the page easy to read and understand.
 * **Follow Directions.** Be sure to follow the directions that are given for the assignment -- be creative, but within the parameters set forth on the page.
 * **Do not delete the work of others deliberately.** Unless it is part of the editing process.
 * **Keep it on topic - classroom oriented**. This isn't the place to discuss afterschool plans.
 * Assignment: On class wiki, make a list as a class of do's and don'ts for using the internet and specifically for using our class wiki. Each student should add to the list and comments can be posted in the discussion section of the wiki. Due in one week.


 * =What actions you will take and how you expect your students to respond if they find inappropriate content=
 * As was taught during the lesson, the students should follow the 5 Steps of Internet Safety as described below.
 * 5 Steps to Internet Safety from @http://coolcatteacher.blogspot.com/2009/09/5-steps-to-online-safety.html
 * Our goal is to operate in safe places on the internet. As you travel in cyberspace, be on guard for an inappropriate web site or for anyone who appears to be cyberbullying. For any questionable situations, follow these rules:
 * 1) Stop
 * Stop what you are doing. Don't keep clicking.
 * 2) Screenshot
 * Take a screenshot. Save a copy and print a copy.
 * 3) Block
 * Anyone offensive should be blocked and removed as a friend if he or she is on your friends list.
 * 4) Tell
 * Tell your teacher or network administrator (or your parents if you are at home) about the situation and give them a copy of the screenshot. When you have a problem, do not stop speaking out until you find someone who can help you.
 * 5) Share
 * After talking with your parents and/or teacher, if the incident is appropriate to discuss, share it with others to promote Internet safety.
