Classroom Technology Introduction

Welcome Students!



Here is our classroom Blog- a place where we will meet and discuss topics related to our classroom studies. I will post a topic or discussion question and you will be required to respond for yourself as well as to TWO (2) other students' comments. First, let's discuss some Blog rules that you should follow:



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



2. Always make sure you check over your post for spelling errors, grammar errors, and your use of words. Paste your post in a word processor and run spellcheck, or download a spellchecker for your browser.



3. Never disrespect someone else in the 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.



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



5. Watch your language! This is part of our school community. Language that is inappropriate in school is also inappropriate in your blog and will be deleted if necessary.



6. Keep it education-oriented. That means that you probably shouldn’t discuss your plans for the weekend, the last dance etc.
