CLASS BLOGGING GUIDELINES
What You Need to Know…Before You Begin Blogging!
Operating a student blog is a privilege and must be treated as such.
We’ll use these blogs for classroom assignments.
You are expected to post one original blog post every week.
In order to preserve your personal privacy and safety, it is imperative that you follow these guidelines when writing either a blog POST or COMMENT:
WARNING: Inappropriate posts or comments will result in disciplinary action and loss of blogging privileges.
These blogs are for academic purposes; therefore, it is important that you respect this forum and participate with enthusiasm and integrity.
Make sure to keep your content middle school appropriate. Furthermore, remember once something is posted, it is in the blogosphere forever and always.
That said, blogging is incredibly fun and will definitely encourage more writing (always a good thing in Language Arts!).
