  1. Blog Expectations • Appropriate Conduct for Blogging in Krol’s Class

  4. Blog Use • To use the blog, you must agree to the following statements. • I will not use any curse words or inappropriate language. • I will not use fighting words or provoke anyone. • I will avoid the use of chat language. • I will try to spell everything correctly. • I will only give constructive criticism and responses. • I will not use my full name, or the full names of my classmates. • I will not plagiarize.

  8. Commenting • How to Comment on Our Class Blog

  9. Extending the Conversation • Comments extend the conversation beyond your blog post allowing your readers to interact with you and each other. It’s amazing how even just a few comments can make you realize you are writing for a global audience — for many is incredibly motivating. Comments are an important part of both the readers and blogger’s learning process. • Commenting is a skill that takes time to develop for many people.  It is common to start out with short replies such as “I like this!” or “kewl”, but those aren’t acceptable responses for what we’re doing.

  10. Quality Comments • BY “QUALITY COMMENTS” KROL MEANS: • Writing the comment like a letter (greeting, body, closing, signature) • Using correct spelling, punctuation and spacing, • Reading over the comment and editing before submitting, • Complimenting the writer in a specific way, asking a question, and/or adding new information to the post, • Writing a relevant comment that is related to the post, • Not revealing personal information in your comment
