Your page is \u2018protected\u2019 but there is nothing to stop people from copying your material and placing it elsewhere on the web.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Protect your privacy. Use your given username and do not post pictures of yourself.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Keep all personal information to yourself.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Be mindful of what you say<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">You are responsible for anything that is posted in your username.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Use appropriate language (e.g. limit your use of text speak or netlingo).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Follow writing conventions including spelling, grammar and punctuation.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Try not to generalize your sentences. Avoid the use of \u201cAll\u201d and \u201cEveryone\u201d.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">How you say something is as important as what you say.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Could you be misunderstood? Be clear in the message you are trying to convey.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Images inserted into a blog must be related to the context of the message and follow copyright rules.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Be respectful to others<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Blogs are about ideas \u2013 agree or disagree with an idea, NOT the person. Freedom of speech does not give you the right to be rude.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">When responding, try giving two stars and a wish (two positive comments and one thing you think could improve).<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Use evidence to support your position and make sure what you write is fair and accurate.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Be informative<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Write about and present what you know. Make sure you get your facts straight and ask for advice if you are not sure.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Linking to web sites from your blog or blog comments in support of your argument is an excellent idea. You are responsible for checking the accuracy of the information you post online.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Respect copyright. It\u2019s customary in the blogosphere to cite sources by linking to them within blog posts, and it\u2019s recommended that you do so.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><strong>Be interesting<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">One way to do this is to expand on others ideas. You can quote other people\u2019s work, link back to it and add your own thoughts or opinions to their ideas.<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">Make it interesting and fun so that you will encourage your readers and listeners to come back for more. There\u2019s no point in blogging if people don\u2019t read or listen to what you say.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Student Blogging Guidelines Publishing thoughts and ideas on the internet is a very public activity.
