Blogging Introduction and Expectations

Welcome! Today is a great day for blogging!

We will begin to write blogs during class time. Each blog will have a specific purpose. Please see below the expectations for blogging.

1. Use your first name only
2. Do not include any personal information
3. Use complete sentences in your writing
4. Use the spell check before you post
5. When you think you are ready to post, select the "preview" button. This will show you what your post will look like.
6. Remember ... anything you write on the Internet is permanent. So, as always, do your personal best when blogging.

BrainPop Blogging Video, Please view the video to learn about best blogging habits. Then, for your first blog, post one thing you learned from the video.

Happy blogging,
Mrs. Schneider
