Tips, Tools and Momentum

Know the purpose for your blog

Remind yourdoes your work say about you?
What students...


Students * Be safe
* Be mindful of what you say
Online Work * Be respectful to others
* Be informative
Agreement * Be interesting

When we write on the web the whole world can see it. What we say, the pictures we post, or the
videos we share give anyone who reads it a good or bad view of me. Anything we share can be
saved and viewed by others forever. Because of all of this, we need to make sure that the impression we
give to others who read our work is a good one, and we promise that:

* Our writing will be a true description of places, events, people, or our thoughts or feelings.
* We will treat people who read and reply to our work kindly, even if we disagree with what they
write.
* We will never share personal information about ourselves, such as our name, photo, age,
address, my parents’ names, etc.
*We will not use bad language, pictures, or videos.

We know that we are the only people who is responsible for the things written or included in our
online work. We will do our best to make sure it is all correct and appropriate, including keeping track
of the comments we receive.

If anything is posted that is inappropriate, offensive or dangerous, we
will notify our teacher as quickly as possible. We will also take full responsibility for any good or bad
consequences.
