Blogging Tips and Guidelines:
Every time you add a new post, people from around the world can “see” what you have written! In order to make sure your posts are safe, respectable, and grammatically appropriate please follow the following guidelines:
Safety:- Don’t use your last name when writing a blog.
- Don’t give out ANY information about yourself, phone number, address, etc.
- Don’t be specific with your information. For example, say, “I like to play soccer,” not “I play soccer for the Webster Pirates.”
- Do not post pictures of anyone without their permission.
- Be considerate of others and their individual thoughts, don’t judge.
- When writing comments, don’t just say, “That’s great!” Take the time to read others thoughts and respond with a well written comment, such as, “I agree with you, I think we should be able to access the computer more.”
- Do not write comments that might be considered offensive by others. (Remember, your writings can be viewed by anyone in the world!!!)
- Use correct grammar and spelling.
- Use of abbreviations and shortcuts is not appropriate for a blog, save that for texting!
- Present yourself in a manner that will bring you and your family pride for what you’ve written.
-Respond to this post with a comment. You will have to create a free google account to do so!
-You may answer all or any of these questions in your comment:
-What do you know about blogging?
-How do you feel about the idea of blogging? Of having a website about our class that anyone in the world can see? Will this have an effect on what you write? Explain...
-If you could have your own blog, what would it be about? Many people have a blog about specific topics like sports, travel, TV shows, fashion, dance, or funny things they hear people say. Others have blogs where they write about anything that comes to their minds!
-What are you most excited about for blogging?
-Respond with a link to a blog that you find interesting or fun (you can search blogs in google). Here is an example blog of Mr. and Ms. Kaufhold: www.lindsayandjoeypr.blogspot.com
To be honest, I have blogged before but I don't know much about it. I do know that it seems interesting, the thought of other people reading what you write, and you reading what they write is pretty cool. I think that having a class blog is something that no one has ever done with us before, it's something new and fresh. I don't know if it will have an effect on my writing, but I am looking forward to blogging.
ReplyDeleteIf i could have a blog, it would be about how random 10th grade life can be. I would write funny things that happen, sad things, and just freaky things. Things that no one could honestly happens...... What happens in PR, stays in PR.
I haven't use never a blog. It seems interesting in the way you can express you opinion! Seeing what other people write is fun, but the can also be used in a bad. I agree in which you have to be carefull what and how you write things. If I had a blog it would be about things and suggestions I can do on weekends so it could be more randomly. And I'm very excited too because here we don't need to be in the class to express our opinions!
ReplyDeleteI have never blogged before, but it seems like a really great idea, and it's a different way to know about other people's opinions and thoughts and discuss your ideas. I really don't know that much about blogging but it seems fun and interesting.
ReplyDeleteIf I could have my own blog I think it would be about personal experiences as a teenager, because I would like to see how many have been through similar situations and what they would do about it.
I'm really excited about blogging, and I'm anxious to see what people think about different topics, and we can all share our own opinios.
well to be honest i have never blogged before. Now that we have our own blog it looks pretty fun to see the opinion of my classmates and to be more connected with each other than before.
ReplyDeleteI have never blogged before. This is my first time and I hope to enjoy it. It looks pretty fun to see what other people right about and its also fun to know that my classmates are viewing my comments and my opinions (((:
ReplyDeleteIts cool you can share so many stuff!
ReplyDeleteIts awesome because you get recent or important info. and connect with different people.
Okay with it I don't write like in symbols or shortcuts unless its like text or class notes!
My blog can be about diverse and random things! Like Sports, Health, Dance, Life, Science, World, Travel, etc..
My own blogs and comments!
I think that a blog is something that can be useful and fun. It can also be use to guide people in what to do in different moment in life. I don't had any problem with talking in theblogs because if you are saying something that doesn't affect any person emotionally then why you must be worried on what the people may think? This is just an opportunity to show the world who you are and what are you made of.
ReplyDeleteI have never blogged before, but now I can see that blogging is a very good way to express our thoughts and share them with other people. Having a website about our class that anyone can see is interesting, because this way they can learn a little bit from our culture. I really look forward to this new, blogging activity! If I could have my own blog it would include many different topics, especially about my favorite hobbies. It’s very different from our usual class work, and it's a fun way to share our ideas.
ReplyDeleteI have never blogged before, so I don't know anything about it. But, there is always a start, and I think that having a class blog will be very interesting! I think it is nice that we can share our opinions on different subjects with our other classmates and other people on the Web. I don't think my way of writing will bring any problems, but I will be always be aware of what I'm writing and if it affects any of my fellow classmates or any other person negatively.
ReplyDeleteIf I could have my own blog, it would definetly be about sports! It would be most about soccer, but I like other sports like baskestball and baseball.
I have never blogged before, but I think that the idea of blogging is fun and a different way of getting grades. I think that is cool having a website about our class because everyone in the world can see the things that we have done in our classroom. I think this will not have an effect on what I write, but I will write my thoughts without hurting other people feelings.
ReplyDeleteIf I could have my own blog, it will be about the things that I do in my life, like trips, volleyball games, etc.. I am very excited to have a class blog because my family and friends can see things that I and my classmates do in history class.
Well I do know what a blog is, but I have never blogged before. I think is cool that we as a class have a blog. Eventhough I have my doubts but as always it will grow on me. And yes like always I will be carefull what I write. I do have my doubts about posting stuff on the Web but okay I guess.
ReplyDeleteIf I had my own blog I might make it of a little bit of everything, adventure, things you'd do before you die, movies, TV, and ROLLER CAOSTERS!
I have never blogged before but i know that its pretty entertaining and more that its our class blog. Now we can share our opinions about many stuff and what we agree and disagree in.
ReplyDeleteI have never blogged before in my life. What I know about blogging is that its public to everybody and that you can make a blog of whatever you like. I think that the idea of blogging is fun and a good way to express our thoughts and ideas. I think that our class having our own website is very cool and interesting. I'm also excited to know that maybe people from all over the world are going to read this. This will have an effect on my writing because I'll try to use better grammar and expand my writing. Also to sound more understandable.
ReplyDeleteIf I could have my own blog it would be about all the places I've traveled and my adventures and experiences with my fiends and family. I'm most excited in blogging to see if people actually follow the blog and comment on it. Also to have a new way of sharing ideas.
To tell you the truth I've never blogged before in my life. The only thing I do know is that you can write stuff about anything you want and anybody in the world can see if you'd like. I think blogging is a fun way to write about anything you'd like and express your feelings about it. I think that the idea of having a class blog is a fun and interesting way to know our classmates a little better and learn and watch all the great things we do, not only in history class but in school as well. I have to admit it could maybe affect my writing a little because i don't know, I'm very reserved and there are some things I just wouldn't like the whole world to see. But I'll try and make an exception. ;)
ReplyDeleteIf I could have my own blog, it would propably be about my life. You know, everything from school to friends to family to sports to feelings, everything. I'm excited to have a class blog because I think it is a good way for us to write and know how our classmates feel about all the things we do as a class.
I have never blogged before but I think that its pretty fun to blog.I do not know anything about blogging.I think that the idea of blogging would be fun and its entertaining because its our blog.
ReplyDeletewell to be honest i never have blogged before, so i dont know much about blogging.
ReplyDeleteI think its pretty cool because you cant post your point of view , ideas or opinions and like that everyone can see it. i dont think that it will an effect if anyone in the world can see what i write; i think its awesome that someone else can see you .

i have never blogged before and it seems pretty fun to do it because i can write about what i think and people can comment that. If i have a blog i would write about what is happening in the world and how that affect us.
ReplyDeleteThis is my first time blogging, and I really like it. This idea of blogging lead other people know what we think. Also, we can share our own ideas and opinions. Someday, I would like to have my own blog about things I enjoy.
ReplyDeleteI have never blogged before, this is going to be my first time and and I don't know much about it. This is going to be really fun and creative, because everyone can see it. The most exciting part of the idea of blogging is that everyone can share there own perspective
