My very wise Intro To Computers class of HS Juniors made this list of guidelines and tips for posting online. I'm so proud of this list and the students who came up with it! This grew out of the assignment I blogged earlier.
Guidelines and Helpful Tips

1. Be careful because anyone can see your tweets
2. Retweets reflect on you as much as tweets
3. Swear words make you look immature and reflect badly on you even if you don't usually swear

5. What you tweet now affects your future and you don’t even realize it

7. Don’t tweet when you're mad
8. Don't say anything you'll regret
9. Before you tweet something think about what your grandma or grandpa would say if they saw it
