Setting up Student Blogs | Integrating Technology in the Primary Classroom - 0 views

I do recommend having a class blog before moving on to student blogs. A class blog is the ideal avenue for the students to learn about the blogging process. Early in the year we always do a lot of work on quality commenting, creative commons and copyright, internet safety, netiquette, typing, writing styles and more.

To earn a blog the students have to… Write quality comments on our class blog on a regular basis. Reply to comments on our class blog regularly. Our class blog is a team effort. Show an interest in others’ blogs (eg. leave some comments on our blogging buddies’ blogs). Demonstrate an understanding of cyber safety and netiquette when writing blog comments and using the internet. Show a general enthusiasm for learning about blogging. Demonstrate support from family. Students will not be chosen for a blog without family support. This isn’t a clear-cut checklist, but more of a guide as to what we’re looking for.

Awesome ideas and procedures for setting up student blogs. Very worth the read. I encourage you to ask Kathleen questions if you have any. She's awesome, and will answer any questions you have.
