BLOG RULES

A Blog can be very exciting.  It allows people from all over the world to share our learning and make comments.  We need to remember to follow a few simple rules to stay safe and get the most out of blog.  It is very important that we understand how to use the  blog and internet in a secure way.  This ties in with National Curriculum objectives and Computing skills that the children are expected to learn and apply.

The following guidelines have been established to ensure the safety of our pupils when blogging.  The guidelines are also reminders of how to use the blog to improve writing and keyboard skills.

Please follow our blogging rules:

• Only use your first name when commenting - no surnames.
• Relatives who leave comments are also asked to leave they first name only, or post comments as e.g. "James's Mum", "Sarah's Grandad".
• Keep safe don't reveal any personal information.
• NO TEXT TALK - Write in full sentences and read our comments back carefully before submitting.
• Be polite - Don't post anything that could hurt anyone.
• Always show respect - Be positive if you are going to comment and always remember that the blog is connected to our school and the rest of the world can see it.
• ALL posts and comments are checked by school staff before they are approved.

If you have any more concerns about the security of the blog then please feel free to talk to myself or our ICT Coordinator.

Many thanks

Mrs Humphreys
