One of the important things we will learn about this year is how to use the internet to communicate with others in a safe and polite way. These are the guidelines we will all follow to ensure the safety of students when blogging. The guidelines are also reminders of how to use the blog to improve our writing skills.
• Students will only be identified by their first name.
• Parents who leave comments are asked not to use last names either. (Please post comments as “Sam’s mom” or “Meg’s aunt”, etc.)
• Students will always write polite and kind comments and treat others the way they wish to be treated.
• All blog comments are moderated by Miss. OC. That means that any inappropriate comments will not be published on the blog.
• Check your comments carefully for correct spelling and punctuation. Students should have a family member check for spelling mistakes before submitting a comment from home.
• Always write in complete sentences and words – no “text talk”, please.
