Blogging at School

I came across this on: Book Trailers for Readers. I really like the way the teacher has stated clearly using an acronym about what to consider when making a blog post

The Blog Rules
B = Be Brief. Think about what you want to say and check your spelling as well as your grammar.
L= Log on correctly. Do not use your full name, only your initials or first name. You do not want to share personal information. However do use your teacher's name, your grade and school. See the example below.
O= Opinion. This is your opinion about this book. However make sure your comments are appropriate. Ask yourself is this post inappropriate, or immature in any way.
G = Global. Anyone in the world might be reading your post. You are representing yourself, your class, your school and your country. This is both exciting and an awesome responsibility.
