Blogging rules and etiquitte

Keep safe:

• Do not use last names.


• Do not give too much information about yourself. For example write "I play for a local soccer team." Do not write "I play for the Hamilton North Junior Rugrats soccer team."


• Never give out your address, email address or phone number.


• Do not post photos of other people without teacher approval.

Write Quality comments:

• It is OK to disagree with the author of a post but when writing a comment always give a reason why you disagree.


• One word comments are not useful. Explain yourself and give constructive messages.


• Make compliments to the writer of the post in an interesting way that makes them feel special. Even ask questions.


• Make relevant comments to the post you are writing about.


• Always be considerate of others.


• When writing a post it must be put to draft before posted so that your teacher can conference with you. Read the comment or post allowed and edit before saving as a draft.

Some ways we can begin our comments:

• Your post made me think that...


• I discovered/learnt...


• This makes me think....


• Your post made me form an opinion about...
