10 Ways to Use a Blog in Your Classroom
The Big Ten of Blogging-Rules to Know
1. Please, no names, addresses, IM screen names, etc. Just use the code from your teacher.
2. Do not link to your personal blog/journal from you school blog.
3. If you are writing your opinion on a topic, make sure you're not offensive.
4. Type your response on "MICROSOFT WORD," spell check, copy and paste into the comments box.
5. Show respect for others in your blog. Never make a person feel bad.
6. Don't write about others. Never share a person's name on your blog.
7. Watch your language! This is a part of our school community. Language that is inappropriate in school is also inappropriate for the blog.
8. Make sure the things you write are factual. Don't post things that aren't true. Link to your sources.
9. Keep it education-oriented. That means that you probably shouldn't discuss your plans for the weekend, the last dance etc.
10. Have fun learning and writing. We trust you.
