Blog Guidelines

In working with this blog and any other webspaces, all  students need to ensure that they follow these important guidelines. They are designed to make sure that you enjoy these spaces.


•    Only ever use your first name or a nickname when you are writing on this or other blogs or wikis
•    Never use any other student’s last name
•    Never post any personal information–such as your home or cellphone number or home address on this or any other blog or wiki
•    Never share any of you usernames or passwords with anyone and never log in as another student
•    Always tell your parents or teacher right away if you come across anything that makes you feel uncomfortable
•    Remember the “grandma rule” that anything you put on the internet could be read by your grandmother so only write things you could say to the nicest of grannies
•    Be a good online citizen and never write or post anything that could hurt anyone else
•    Always check with an adult if someone asks for your phone number or to meet you
•    Never make arrangements to meet anyone over the internet without telling your parents
•    Make sure you publish only your own work. Don’t under any circumstances use other people’s work and call it your own
•    Make sure that you read over your writing before you post it to check the spelling and that it reads okay. 

If you wish to change or add to these rules please post a comment with details of our reasons.

G'day ANdrew,
Thanks for the comment on my class blog. I was wondering whether your class would be interested in joining the student blogging challenge which starts in March this year?

If you are then register here on the form at the bottom of the post http://wyatt67.edublogs.org/2009/01/18/a-new-year-means-a-new-challenge/

Hey Nicky, I think maybe me and you should work on our speech volume beause it is difficult to hear us both on the blog.

Shania, your speech is well written but I also think you should work on your volume as well. Yours is a bit higher than mine and Nicky's but it's still a bit hard to hear you.
