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
-
Please, no last names, school names or addresses.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Always make sure you check over your post for spelling errors, grammar errors, and your use of words.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Watch your language! We’re not at home, we are at school, this has to be at least remotely professional looking.
-
Make sure things you write about are factual. Don’t be posting about things that aren’t true.
-
Keep it education-oriented. That means that you probably shouldn’t discuss your plans for the weekend.
