Getting started

Hello Room 5CO and Room 5JP!

Welcome to our blog site!

To get us started I would like you to simply open up our blog site sometime during the week and say hello and put your name. Remember to only use your first name and your last initial (if there is someone else in these two classes with the same first name).

Remember some important internet safety rules when using this site (and others):

• never give your full name
• never give your phone number, address or email details
• don't mention where you will be at a particular time
• don't put any of that information on the net about anyone else
• think carefully if you respond to anyone else's comments because they can't hear your tone of voice to determine if you are joking or serious
• it is ok to have a debate with someone if you don't agree with their ideas but do it in a friendly manner
• do not call people names or put them down
