Student Blogging Guidelines are guidelines that grade four students made up for middle and high school kids. They made up ten guidelines and the teachers all got together but the only things that they changed were a few minor re-phrasings issues and consolidation. The guidelines are (In bold is the summarisation): **
 * 1. Only post things that you would want everyone (in school, at home, in other countries) to know. **I****f you want to tell someone something personal don't put it on a public site, only put things that aren't completely directed at someone in particular.**
 * 2. Do not share personal information. **If you use your personal information people can track you down and if you add posts that say where you are going then people could stalk you and follow you home.**
 * 3. Think before you post. **Before you post, think what could happen when people read it.**
 * 4. Know who you’re communicating with. **Think about who could read it and if you want them to.**
 * 5. Consider your audience and that you’re representing ISB. **Are people that are reading this going to like it.**
 * 6. Know how to give constructive feedback. **Make responsible comments to the post you are reading.**
 * 7. Treat other people the way you want to be treated. **Make comments to other people that you would like to recieve.**
 * 8. Use appropriate language and proper grammar and spelling. **Could people judge me for the way i spell and the language i use in my posts?**
 * 9. Only post information that you can verify is true (no gossiping). **Someone could ask you how you got the info so make sure the info you use is fact.**
 * 10. Anytime you use media from another source, be sure to properly cite the creator of the original work. **Make sure you acknowledge the creator of the info.**


 * When you are commenting on pthers blogs marke sure you adress the following:**
 * are constructive, but not hurtful.

 * are always related to the content of the post.
 * include personal connections to what the author wrote.
