OUR BLOGGING RULES

Just as we have rules to keep us safe in our school, home and community, we also have rules to keep us safe while blogging.

We not only have ownership of our class blog but our own blogs as well. We have to take RESPONSIBILTY for what goes on our blogs.

Blogging is a great way talk about our learning BUT...
we have to THINK REALLY CAREFULLY before we post. There are lots of things we want to put on our blogs but we have to think...

"Is this appropriate?"

Here are the rules that we feel are really important to follow when blogging:

• NEVER use your last name
• NEVER write anyone else's last name or the school's name
• NEVER write any personal details like your address, phone number, birthday or the school's details or anyone else's details
• NEVER put up photos that directly show your face or anyone else's face.Ask permission to use a photo with someone else in it
• NEVER leave any nasty or silly comments or posts
• DON'T give out your password - only your teacher and parents can have access
• Only link to 'educational' sites
• ALWAYS have Mrs M check any sites you want to link to before you add them
• See Mrs M if you want to upload a video or widgets. These must be checked by Mrs M BEFORE they are uploaded.
• Be RESPONSIBLE when writing to your blog. Remember posts are meant to show what you have learnt and how.
