**Blog Rules:**
There are specific rules for proper blogging. Please review the list below before to you post any messages.

** __DO's of safe blogging__ **

1. The class blog is public, which means others out in cyberspace can see it. We want you to be safe when you're blogging. Therefore, please post only your first name and leave all other identifying information, including family information, private. Remember that this is a "professional" blog not a "personal" blog.  2. Do be mindful that what you publish will be public for a long time. **Once posted, always posted:** Protect your reputation and safety while online. 3. Do post only what you want a future educational institution or employer to read. ** __DO's of posting & commenting__ **  1. Do remember that the class BLOG is an extension of our classROOM. Therefore, please keep in mind that you should not write anything on our class blog that would also not be appropriate to say or write in our classroom.  2. Do keep your postings & comments focused on school and education topics. 3. Do rely on factual information - add quotes and/or links to other works that will support the ideas you post. 4. Do respond to others' posts. Work to communicate deepened thinking about the topic discussed and pose questions for others to consider more deeply, too. 5. Do support each other in the face-to-face classroom: Help each other with questions. Celebrate successes. Present a warm, open and approachable tone. 6. Do praise others' ideas on which you agree and offer suggestions for those on which you disagree. Disagree, without being disagreeable.

** __DO's of general blogging__ ** 1. Do use correct spelling and grammar. Leave texting language to your phone texts.  2. Do remember that the Appropriate Use Policy governs all classroom blogs and that you are legally liable for anything you write or present online. 3. Do demonstrate respect for yourself, for others, and for our learning environment.

4. Do ask for permission for anything you share, unless it has been specifically designated for public use. Cite anything you use. Give credit where credit is due.
