3. I will not upload files onto the blog without permission.
4. I will ask permission from a member of staff before using the blog and will not visit Internet sites I know to be banned by the school.
5. I will only e-mail people I know, or my teacher has approved.
6. The comments that I make, or information I upload, will always be polite and sensible.
7. I will not open an attachment, or download a file, unless I have permission or I know and trust the person who has sent it.
8. I will not give my home address, phone number, send a photograph or video, or give any other personal information that could be used to identify me, my family or my friends, unless my teacher has given permission.
9. I will never arrange to meet someone I have only ever previously met on the Internet or by email or in a chat room, unless my parent, guardian or teacher has given me permission and I take a responsible adult with me.
10. If I see anything I am unhappy with or I receive a message I do not like, I will not respond to it but I will tell a teacher / responsible adult.
