I hope your child came home and told you about our blogs this weekend. Most of the students had a chance to make their first blog post on Friday. They really enjoyed doing so, and we will be writing more soon!
I want you to know that I take internet safety very serious. Students do get to write and post their own posts, but I have to approve them before they go live. So, I will never approve a post that compromises anyones safety. Students have also been told that we never put our last names in our blog posts.
Students may make new posts from home if they are logged in. I am working on getting password cheat sheets printed for all students to make this easier.
I also encourage students to comment on other students' blogs. You can also comment on blog posts - they LOVE getting comments, so please visit often. I must also approve comments, so don't worry about inappropriate content. The students and I talked about making positive comments only. They know that comments are meant to make people feel good and not point out mistakes. If a comment is made that isn't for the purpose of building up a student, it will not be approved. I want this writing work to be a positive experience for all students. So, please, visit, comment and have fun!
