Students, now that you have created your blogs, we need to learn some rules for writing on these blogs.  Have you ever heard of netiquette?  Today we are going to learn some rules for writing on our blogs or any online writing space, including social media. 

First, go to my PortaPortal, my bookmarking page, and we'll read the first 3 articles under the section of Netiquette and Cyberbullying.

Then we'll come back to our blogs to write a journal post about the importance of using the Web responsibly with netiquette.
Take a look at the first post you made on your blog?  Do you see anything that you might want to change?

A rubric will be used for assessing your new blog post. 

The next assignment will be to read and respond to a classmate's post about netiquette.
That assignment will be assessed by a special rubric for blog replies.
The assessment rubrics are also located on the portaportal listed above.
