26. Best Practices For Safe Networking
•Encourage students to create their own accounts to ensure
password safety
•After all students join your group, lock the group code to
prevent others from joining
•Monitor group membership to ensure only students in your
group have joined
•Educate students on proper online etiquette
•Use “Read-Only” status to curb inappropriate behavior
•If your school or district does not have a subdomain, claim one
