__How to Protect Yourself On Wikispaces__

 * Always protect your personal identity.
 * Be respectful of others views and opinions. Challenge and engage each other, but keep it academic. No personal attacks!
 * Contribute your thoughts/questions/ and opinions. Communities thrive on a rich marketplace where users share ideas, learn from and teach each other.
 * ** When creating a profile or communicating with other members, never give your full first and last name. **
 * ** Never post/reveal any personal information such as phone numbers, home addresses, location, etc. **
 * ** Much like a large metropolitan city, the Internet is a wonderful place with so many available resource. It can also be a very dangerous place. Your parents would never drop you off in a big city and expect you to explore it alone and remain safe. The goal of this page is to provide awareness and try to keep everyone safe from the dangers of the Internet.**
