Ground Rules

Before using this with my first year class I made a big fuss about the Ground Rules. I have repeated numerous times that they should not post or "say" anything that they would not say in the classroom. Some pupils are still not fully aware that everything that they post online can easily be traced back to them. If it is positive content that's fine but if it is negative then it can lead to trouble. I also found it useful to keep repeating that this is not Facebook. Really, it should be treated like a virtual jotter.
