Guidelines for M&M’s Blog
GUIDELINES
Student blogging 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.
BE SAFE:
Only use your first name.
Your Posts must not include yours or anyone’s personal details such as address, email address or phone numbers.
When writing about yourself don’t be specific. eg. Say: “I go to a local dance group ” rather than “I go to Mary’s Dance Studio”
You must have your teacher’s permission to post a photo
BE RESPECTFUL
Always keep other people’s feelings in mind.
When commenting on what others have written show them that you have read it 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 are broadcasting yourself to the world. Present yourself in the best possible light
Use good grammar, spelling and punctuation.
Save abbreviations and shortcuts for MSN and texting.
COPYRIGHT
Remember you cannot use anything from the Internet and call it your own. Make sure you only use copyright free images, songs and text.
PARENTS
Parents who leave comments are asked to use their first names only
TEACHERS
Posts written by students will be checked by the teacher before they are published to the blog
Teachers must always have students approval before posting their work or images

Dear Miss Murphy,
I really liked all of the culture sheets. I really didn’t think that my one will go up. Especially when I think that I had made a mistake.

Dear Miss Murphy,
I really liked the OREO paragraph video. I does really help me to write persuasive text. It makes me feel hungry.
