  • Blog Guidelines

    • Dear Students, Welcome to our class blog! "Why a blog?" you may ask. Blogs are quickly becoming the most relevant source of information and communication networking on the internet. It's the way of the future, so blogging is a skill you need to master. The purpose of this blog to connect students and take our class discussion online. I have not titled this site "Mrs. Berg's Blog" for a reason - this is not just my class website - this is YOUR blog, and you will determine what it will be. Each week you will publish a response to one of the posts as well as respond to other students' comments. If you have an idea for a topic you would like to open for class discussion, run it by me I will let you post it on the blog. Yes, this is part of your grade, so it is required. However, it is also an opportunity for you to express yourself and engage in a dialogue with your classmates!
      Here are a few guidelines to ensure that the blog is a positive forum:
      • 1. RESPECT - respect yourself and your classmates. That means, DON'T HATE! No insulting comments or cut-downs allowed! Remember, it takes guts to put yourself out there, so it's our responsibility to make this blog a safe place. If you disagree with what someone posts, you may post a reply that presents a different perspective, but do so respectfully and don't get into a back and forth pointless argument (ex: is too, is not, is too, is not . . .)
      • 2. No inappropriate content. That includes profanity and explicit language, photos, and media. If you're not sure whether something is appropriate, run it by me before you post it.
      • 3. Take pride in your writing. Remember, the responses you post will be visible to all, so double check it before you post it and make sure it's what you really want to say. Check for spelling and grammar errors, and avoid "textese" (ex:lol, idk, etc.) If you present yourself as a thoughtful and educated person, people will take what you have to say more seriously.
      • This is your blog - USE IT DON'T ABUSE IT.
