__How to Protect Yourself On Wikispaces__

 * ** When creating a profile or communicating with other members, never give your full first and last name. **
 * ** Never post/reveal any personal information such as phone numbers, home addresses, location, etc. **

__Other Tips and Reminders__

 * __** REMEMBER: **__ This is a ** PUBLIC FORUM **. Please use common sense and know that anything you post or say is potentially being viewed by the global community, not just your friends or teachers.
 * This is a public place. It's no different than being out at the mall with your friends or in the hallways at school. Behave appropriately and protect yourself!
 * Much like a large metropolitan city, the Internet is a wonderful place with so many available resources. You would never be dropped off in a big city and expected to explore it and remain safe. The goal of this page is to give your family awareness and tools to keep everyone safe from the dangers of the Internet.
 * **The discussion board is only for comments and notes that are to be viewed by the entire class and community.** If you have individual concerns or grade questions, please send a private email to Mrs. McGinnis :)
 * Be respectful!
