obscene, profane, defamatory, libelous, threatening, harassing, abusive, hateful, embarrassing,
disrespectful and/or discriminatory comments on the blog.
Students will only use their first names.
Participating in the blog site is a privilege, not a right.

included within the class curriculum.
Respect the opinions of other commenters. Don’t be rude, be mean or bully others.
Don’t add hyperlinks to other websites
Stay Safe and SMART. Never give out personal details.
Your comment won’t appear right away. It will be reviewed and edited before being posted.
All school rules and our student and employee AUPs (Acceptable Use Policies) apply in this
online environment.
We will respect each other's right to voice their opinions.
Don't link your blog posts to your personal online space/blog/etc.
Be safe, don't post last names or photos of yourself.
Before publishing, check your spelling and grammar - we want people to see that we know what
we're doing.
Please don't use traditional texting abbreviations (lol, bff, btw)
Remember, all posts are moderated, they get checked before they go online, and won't be
approved if they don't measure up!
Write positively about appropriate things.
Light debating and discussion is fine.
We will not tolerate rudeness, insulting posts, personal attacks or purposeless inflammatory posts.
The administration and teacher’s decision is final in these matters.
Write about topics — not people.
Use proper grammar and spelling when writing.
Do not post personal information.
Stick to the topic of the post you are writing about.
When you comment on a blog, comment about the subject and not about the owner of the blog or
other people.
Be respectful in posting and/or commenting.
No posting meaningless threads such as one word or short non-sense posts.
We are polite, kind and appropriate at all times
