Read and Comment on Your Child’s Blog

Room 111 has begun blogging!

What is a blog? 
A blog is short for web log. It is a journal of sorts that lives online and allows for interaction between the author and reader. Kidblog is a safe and simple platform built by teachers so that students can get the most out of the blogging process. Most importantly, Kidblog allows teachers to monitor and control all of the publishing activity.

Blogging Rules we share with students:

1. First Name only ­ never use last names in posts or comments. 
2. Do not type e­mail addresses or screen names in your blog. Do not type home addresses or phone numbers.
3. Make sure you are polite.
4. Be respectful of others’ ideas. 
5. Check for spelling, spacing, punctuation and capitalization.

Ideas for blogging:

Journal or blog about:

• Books being read 
• Science experiments 
• Topics being studied at school. 

The ideas are endless. Blogging allows more students to express their thoughts and opinions and write fora greater audience.
