Here are some Blogging Guidelines for Year 7 students.
Only post things that you would want everyone (in school, at
home, in other countries) to know.
Ask yourself: Is this something I want
everyone to see?
Do not share personal information.
Ask yourself: Could
someone find me (in real life) based on this information?
Think before you post.
Ask yourself: What could be the
consequences of this post?
Know who you’re communicating with.
Ask yourself: Who
is going to look at this, and how are they going to interpret my words?
Consider your audience.
Ask yourself: Do I have a good
reason/purpose to do this?
Know how to give constructive feedback.
Ask yourself: What
will I cause by writing this post?
Treat other people the way you want to be treated.
Ask
yourself: Would I want someone to say this to me?
Use appropriate language and proper grammar and spelling.
Ask yourself: Would I want this post to be graded for proper grammar and
spelling?
Only post information that you can verify is true (no
gossiping).
Ask yourself: Is this inappropriate, immature or bullying?
Anytime you use media from another source, be sure to
properly cite the creator of the original work.
Ask yourself: Who is the
original creator of this work?
Commenting Guidelines
As a blogger, you will be commenting on other people’s work
regularly.
Good comments:
- are constructive, but not hurtful;
- consider the author and the purpose of the post;
- are always related to the content of the post;
- include personal connections to what the author wrote;
- answer a question, or add meaningful information to the content topic;
- follow the writing process.
- Comments are a published piece of writing.
