Blog Rules





No, not the Blob, the BLOG (short way to say web log-an online journal of sorts).
We will now post our journals to our class blog:
http://welchsclass.blogspot.com
This will help us with our new classroom technology model
"Inspired Classrooms"
http://inspiredclassrooms.wikispaces.com/About+Inspired+Classrooms

Remember the rules:

1. Never use your name or another students name in our class blog. There could be a stranger who reads our blog and we don’t want them to know your name.
2. When commenting as a group, use your group name. Anytime you comment as a group, everyone has to agree on the response.
3. When commenting as an individual, use your initials. The kids in our class will know who you are, but strangers will not.
4. Anytime you comment, make sure to use kind words. It’s ok to disagree with someone else as long as you do it politely.
5. Your response should include proper grammar and capitalization. No text writing please.
5. Remember, because our blog is on the internet, you can comment from class, from the computer lab, from home, or any other computer that is connected to the internet. All comments go to Ms. Welch first for moderation, so they won’t always show up immediately.
KEEP IT POSITIVE!
