Blog Guidelines

We will update our blog and use it to enhance and share our learning through the use of this online learning space.

In working with this blog, all students need to ensure that they follow these important guidelines.

• Only ever use your first name or a nickname when you are writing on this blog.
• Never use any other student’s last name.
• Never post any personal information, such as your home or cell phone number or home address on this or any other blog.
• Never share any of your usernames or passwords with anyone and never log in as another student.
• Always tell your parents or teacher right away if you come across anything that makes you feel uncomfortable.
• Remember the “grandma rule” that anything you put on the internet could be read by your grandmother so only write things you could say to the nicest of grannies.
• Be a good online citizen and never write or post anything that could hurt anyone else.
• Always check with an adult if someone asks for your phone number or to meet you.
• Never make arrangements to meet anyone over the internet. Always talk to your parents or teacher if this is an issue.
• Make sure you publish only your own work. Don’t under any circumstances use other people’s work and call it your own.
• Make sure that you read over your writing before you post it to check the spelling and that it reads okay.
