What is a Blog?

Benefits of Bloggi

Kathleen Morris on primarytech.global2.vic.edu.au made a great diagram that listed lots of benefits to blogging in an educational context:

Blogging Guidelines

Our Blogs are a way for us to share our ideas and our learning with other people.  Sharing our learning means that it is very important that we understand how to use the blog and the internet in a secure way.

Guidelines for Comments:

1. Use first names only and don't give out email address.  (This follows our online safety rule of keeping personal information private) e.g: Áine R1
2. We are polite, kind and appropriate in our comments. Be positive, interested and encouraging! Don't go off topic and check your comment makes sense. Why not answer the question posed or respond to someone else.
3. Parents who leave comments are asked not to use last names either e.g 'Sarah's Mam' or 'Anne's Uncle' etc.
4. Proof read your comments carefully.  Students should have a family member check for spelling mistakes and grammar before commenting.
5. Always write in full sentences and words -no 'text talk' please.
