5 Small Minion’s
Blogging Rules
2010-2011
1. I will not give out any information more personal than my first name nor will I post pictures of myself or my classmates.
2. I will not reveal anyone else’s identity (other than first names) in my comments or in my posts.
3. I will not plagiarize; instead I will expand on others’ ideas and give credit where it is due.
4. I will use language appropriate for school.
5. I will always respect my fellow students and their writing.
6. I will only post pieces that I am comfortable with everyone seeing; other pieces I will keep as drafts.
7. I will not be afraid to express my ideas, while not over generalizing or making derogatory remarks.
8. I will use constructive/productive/purposeful criticism, supporting any idea, comment, or critique I have with evidence.
9. I will only post comments that are meaningful and that contribute to the overall conversation.
10. I will take my time when I write, using formal language (not text lingo), and I will try to spell everything correctly.
11. I will not use my blog posts or comments as a chat room.
12. I will not bully or provoke others in my blog posts or in my comments.
13. I will never access another student’s account or make any changes to their site.
14. I will be proactive in monitoring the comments that others leave on my blog.
15. I will personalize my blog and keep my writing authentic, while taking responsibility for anything I add to my blog.
16. I will use my blog as an extension of the classroom.
17. I will only post photos which are school appropriate and are either not copyrighted or correctly cited.
18. I will not spam (including, but not limited to meaningless messages, mass messages, and repetitive messages).
19. I will only post comments on posts that I have fully read, rather than just skimmed.
Infractions of these rules will lead to the following logical consequences in order of severity and numbers of offense:
- Warning by teacher.
- Temporary loss of blogging privileges (duration of one month).
- Permanent loss of blogging privileges.
I have read and understand the 5 Small Minion’s Blogging Rules.

I am so grateful to you for teaching our children how to use this technology appropriately. I wish this was taught to all students in 5th grade - everywhere - so they would know what's OK and what's not BEFORE the problems arise!
