Think first.

Use common sense.

•What happens on the web does not stay on the web.

•Before you post, ask yourself, “Could this potentially get me into trouble, fired, or sued?”

Know your policies.

•Acceptable Use Policy▫AR 6161.1:Internet users are expected to

behave legally, responsibly, and ethically in accessing educational resources…

Know your policies.

•Professional Conduct▫ It is strongly recommended that teachers,

school administrators and all other employees not communicate directly with students or list WS/FCS students as “Friends” on personally administered pages of social networking sites, unless the student is the employee’s child, grandchild, sibling, cousin, niece or nephew.

Teach Digital Citizenship

• If we do not teach teachers and students how to use technology and the Internet appropriately, we risk their safety and their future.
