Blogging Rules – Mrs. Frizzle’s Blog

I am not into censorship, and I’m not going to take down a comment unless…

it is a nasty ad hominem attack on another commenter, me, or someone else;

it contains excessive profanity (the occasional curse is okay among adults, but these words have more power when used infrequently);

it is racist, sexist, or discriminatory in some other way (sometimes I will leave comments like this up and let your own words condemn you);

or it is spam.

 Blogging Rules – BudTheTeacher

1. Please, no last names, school names or addresses.

2. Do not link to your personal blog/journal from your school blog; you might reveal information on there that you don’t want to reveal on your school blog.

3. If you want to write your opinion on a topic, make sure you’re not going to be offensive to anyone as you write it.

4. Always make sure you check over your post for spelling errors, grammar errors, and your use of words.

5. Never disrespect someone else in your blog, whether it’s a person, an organization, or just a general idea. You don’t want someone making a stab at what you are passionate about; don’t do it to someone else.

6. Don’t write about other people without permission; if you can’t get their permission, use first names only. Never share someone elses last name.

7. Watch your language! We’re not at home, we are at school, this has to be at least remotely professional looking.

8. Make sure things you write about are factual. Don’t be posting about things that aren’t true.

9. Keep it education-oriented. That means that you probably shouldn’t discuss your plans for the weekend.
