Four Safe Blogging Strategies I have found are:
1. Keep personal information personal. You don't want to post things like your birth date, social security number, or address on your blog. This will give people too much information about you and can bring danger to you. As a teacher you definitely don't want to share too much information about your classroom and/or school with the public. For example, don't mention students' first and last names.
2. Ensure your user name does not reveal too much information and be careful with pictures that you post. Try to use a user name that doesn't give away too much information to the public. Also be very careful with the pictures you post. As a teacher make sure you are careful with the pictures you post of students. Obtain permission from the students parents before posting pictures because otherwise it is illegal.
3. Post only things that are appropriate for the entire public. Future employers have been known to look at blogs. Be careful what you post. It could be the determining factor in whether or not you obtain a job.
4. Be aware of the things that you are posting. You don't want to tell the world that you will be gone all weekend or that you are home alone all night. This can potentially cause danger to you because the entire public can access your information.
