How to Post a Comment:Using this blog is a great way for students to practice their digital etiquette and internet safety skills. We teach students that it isn't safe to post their full name online. When whole classes respond, they might list their username as "Mrs. Bock's class", because the adult is using judgement to post his/her name online. Similarly, families posting responses might list their family name "The Bock Family" if parents choose.
Students posting by themselves should follow this format when submitting their post: Username: Initials and grade (i.e.: AB, 3rd grade) Email: Type your first and last name here, because it won't show up on the blog but Mrs. Bock will know who is posting! Website: leave this blank Comment: Post your thoughts here. |
