Blog Guidelines

When you press PUBLISH, what you have written is instantly visible all around the world. Make sure you think carefully about what you write in blogs and in comments and always follow these rules.
 
Read the Blogging Guidelines. Then, think about how you have used the internet in the past. Are these guidelines easy or hard to follow? Why do you think they are important?
 
BE SAFE:
Do not use your last name.
Don’t be specific when writing about yourself. eg. Say: “I play basketball with a local team” rather than “I play for the Mt Eliza Tigers”.
Never give anyone your address, email address or phone number. You can keep in touch through the blog.
Do not post photos of others without their permission.


BE RESPECTFUL:
Don’t say anything that might be offensive to someone else.
Be considerate of others. When commenting, show others that you have read what they have written rather than just saying “great job”.
Be open to other people’s opinions, but be prepared to discuss your own position if you don’t agree.


BE LITERATE:You know about good grammar, spelling and punctuation. Apply it!
Save abbreviations and shortcuts for MSN and texting.
You are broadcasting yourself to the world. Present yourself in the best possible light.

  1. Yes, I think these guidelines are easy to follow because they are simple and specific they state facts on how to be safe on the internet. I do think that the rules are important because if you follow them like you should and don’t give out personal information then you will be safe.

  2. I think that it is hard to follow because you are so used to speak freely to others but in this you are not supposed to . I think that it is important to follow these rules because people around the world do not need to know who you are or what your daily life is about.

  3. They are easy to follow because this is pretty much the same as facebook. It is important that we follow them because other people could come and visit our school and do something bad or they could even do that to our own homes. If we give them our e-mail then they could annoy us with that.

  8. I think it’s easy to follow these rules because I know that I shouldn’t give people my information because some people are crazy and don’t know how to act. I think that a lot of people will be able to follow these rules pretty easily because most people have been on the internet and on stuff like this before.

  18. Mrs. Pichel, I think that your guidelines will be helpful to the class. I agree that we need to be safe otherwise, we will be bothered and annoyed and maybe even frightened by someone else on the internet that’s trying to get our personal information. Also, when you said to be respectful I think that is very important because if you post something up that your friend doesn’t like or is embarrassed by that could start an argument with you and your friend and that wouldn’t be very pleasant to hear or see. Be literate is probably the most important one of all because the things you post on the internet will never go away and it is viewable to anyone who has access to this website. Thanks!

  29. I think an advantage of have a human teacher is a difference in our behavior. We would probably act better with a human teacher than a mechanical one because the mechanical teacher can't stop us from misbehaving.

  30. I think the rules are easy to follow. The instructions are very important because there are so many people that might see the phone number or your address. And the strangers could com to your house. And you never know if they are going to hurt you. Sadly People can never be trusted.

And that Gram is with her to and that Gramps need’s Gram. You always keep love ones in your heart because she will see mom in her memory that she have seen in her past.
