Edu-Blogging Do’sGuidelines for safe and responsible blogging:
Conduct yourself in a manner reflective of a representative of this school.Treat your blog as a classroom space. It is not a place for personal and private issues that are not related to school topics.Strive to write respectfully and do not be rude. Blogs are about ideas but agree or disagree with the idea, not the person.Make specific suggestions and back up your opinions with facts.If you should come across anything online that makes you feel uncomfortable or afraid, minimize your screen immediately and report to your teacher.Do ask for permission to use any files that were created and owned by others, including photos, audio and video clips, etc.

Edu-Blogging Don’tsThings to Avoid
Do not post or give out your family name, password, home address, phone number or any personal information that would give information that would help someone directly locate or contact you in person. Do not post anything that you would not want your family, your teachers, your friends to read. Use correct English and be aware that everything you post is a reflection of you. You are an ambassador for elementary blogging.Don’t always believe everything you read online. You need to make a judgment about whether it can be trusted.
