Blogging has quickly become a trend among all age groups, but it is growing faster among youth than any other age group. We will begin using a blog in our classroom as a tool to extend our learning and empower our use of technology.

The students will be participating in a class blog for the purposes of: 
·      Encouraging the process of writing for an audience
·      Practicing narrative, poetic, informative, and persuasive writing
·      Sharing and evolving ideas that facilitate interaction and collaboration
·      Engaging students in conversation and learning
·      Sharing opinions, points of view on a topic
·      Sharing classroom events and happenings with families and the wider community
·      Fostering an understanding of Global Awareness, communication and collaboration
·      Connecting with others both inside and outside the classroom and encouraging Global communication previously not possible
·      Reflection, expression and evaluation of own learning

Be Responsible

Participation in classroom blogging and the use of technology equipment 
is a privilege. If any violations occur, you will be subject to the following 
consequences:

a. Write a letter of apology to all individuals you offend if you submit an offensive comment.
 b. Warning
 c. Rejection/Editing of Offensive Comment
 d. Temporary or Permanent Loss of Blogging Privileges
 e. Referral to School Administration
