Rules for Blogging

Each week, you will have the opportunity to respond to a prompt. Sometimes you will work with a group to write a response, and sometimes you will be ask to respond as an individual. We will discuss how to blog appropriately and safely.  Use these tips to help you with your blog:

1. Never use your name or another student's name in our class blog. There could be a stranger who reads our blog and we don’t want them to know your name.

2. When commenting as a group, use your group name. Anytime you comment as a group, everyone has to agree on the response.

3. When commenting as an individual, use your initials. The students  in our class will know who you are, but strangers will not.

4. Anytime you comment, make sure to use kind words. It’s ok to disagree with someone else as long as you do it politely.

5. Remember, because our blog is on the internet, you can comment from class, from the computer lab, from home, or any other computer that is connected to the internet.

6. All comments go to Ms. Underwood  first for approval, so they won’t always show up immediately.
