NB: ONLINE REGISTRATION AND USERNAME PROTOCOLS

1. Sign up to web spaces via your school e-mail as much as possible, e.g., abc123@_________________.vic.edu.au

2. If you need to set up with a g-mail or other e-mail for school, sign up using you school logon, e.g., abc123@gmail.com. If your username is taken vary it by one of the following:
a. msc
b. msc1
c. ms
d. ms1
e. _msc
f. atmsc

3. Use your student school logon as your username, e.g., abc123. If you logon is taken in a web space vary it by one of the following:
a. msc
b. msc1
c. ms
d. ms1
e. _msc
f. atmsc

(You must not use your first and last names or nicknames for school based accounts, save these for your personal use and work in the future. If a sign up process asks for your first and last name simply enter your school username for both).

4. When you create passwords for different accounts, put in place practices to remember them. Keep them in a private document if you have to write them down. You need to apply secret agent stealth to protecting your passwords.

5. If you are asked to use a web space you have already joined in another class, you will use the account you have already created. There is no need to sign up from scratch – just sign in, accept invites and/or join spaces as needed with the already registered account.

6. Finally, and most importantly, as per our school enrolment and code of conduct, we will use school based social networking sites and other online related applications respectfully for educational purposes and only as directed by our teachers. Our 'Information Communications Technology (ICT) Acceptable Use Agreement' outlines the expectations clearly. It is important to always act responsibly online.



It's a wild web world out there kiddos. Use your secret agent stealths to handle it. Listen to your parents and your teachers and always use digital identity smarts!
