Blogging Guidelines
Mrs. Albanese’s School Blog
1. Writing a blog is very much like writing for classroom publication and beyond. The writing must be intended for a wide audience, in this case, the world! Use appropriate language for the task and keep it formal for the most part. Don’t write things that could get you into trouble.
2. Don’t give out or record personal information such as your phone number, cell phone, email address or home address on your blog. Do not mention your last name or anyone else’s last name. This is a public forum that can be watched by the world and saved for many years to come. Caution, discretion and prudence!
3. When you write and publish it on the blog, you should be proud of your work! This will represent a writing that has been revised, edited and spell checked. Always write the piece in a Word document first, make your revisions, edits and spell checks on that document. Save the document to your school file and then copy and paste it in the blog.
4. Link only to sites that you have read and understand. By linking to a site, you are telling us that the content is completely appropriate for an educational school blog. Your personal blog, Myspace or website should not be linked to the school blog.
5. When writing your opinion, be sure not to disrespect of offend anyone. Do not write about other people, friends, the school, the town or the district in a critical or disrespectful way. You may use first names or initials only to refer to people. Never share someone else’s last name.
6. Keep the blog education oriented. Stay with the tasks set in the blog! Develop your voice using the blog in a unique way; as a forum of ideas, thoughts and learning.

Schools in 2015 should have advanced technologies like learning helmets that should do all the teaching. If you wanted to teach the kids something all you do is strap the helmet on and the student will learn what it they are being taught. The schools should still teach and group the students we still do today.
