Hello, Everyone!
Thanks for visiting the blog. I've set this up as a way for us to communicate with other, and share ideas about Social Studies, school, the world, etc. I'd like to use this a way for us to even complete our homework assignments; saves paper, time, trees, etc.
It's pretty easy to get an account on this site. Follow the directions at the sign-in screen and you should be OK. Additionally, Please make sure that when you post, you leave your name and class somewhere, so I know who is writing, and I may be able to give that person credit for their assignment.
If you post, don't worry if you don't see your work right away. Before I approve your post for spelling, grammar, maturity, etc., I do read them. Once they get my approval, they go up on the blog. So, please refrain from posting the same thing over and over.
Regarding your posts, please note that as aspiring journalists, what you post here is for all of the world to see. It is expected that you will maintain a sense of maturity, and professionalism in your postings. This is a professional space, which will be viewed not only by me, but your other teachers, principals, and parents. While we do have freedom of the press in the USA, remember that you cannot publish anything that is untrue. This is called SLANDER and can get you into a lot of trouble. Additonally, please do not publish anything that is harmful, hurtful, or disrespectful towards other people.
Finally, some safety issues. Only use your first name, and last initial when posting. Don't give any other information about yourself (age, grade in school, etc.).
Again, thanks for checking in. Can't wait to read your posts! Mr. T
