On the edit page, you can make a variety of changes by typing in new information or selecting from the various drop down menus.

One important setting is Email display.  Although your email address is not immediately visible to other class members, they
have easy access to it, unless you change this setting.  Click the drop down arrow, on the right side of the box, and click
on your display preference.

There are two English language choices.  English (en) is the British version of English.  English (en_us) is the American version.

At the bottom of the page, there's another Show Advanced button.  However, these features are not likely to interest you.

After making your profile changes, click the Update Profile button, at the bottom of the page.  You can easily re-edit
your profile at any time.
