One of the activities we will be doing this year is working on a 5th grade blog. This blog will include writing about things we do in computer class and other topics.

Blogging Etiquette

 * 1) Make sure to ** proof ** and **edit** before you post (check spelling, capitalization, and punctuation).
 * 2) Use ACADEMIC language and spelling:
 * // you // not // u //
 * // are // not // r //
 * // you're or your not ur //
 * // I not i //
 * 1) When responding to someone else's work, be sure the comments are HIGH QUALITY and RESPECTFUL. No one word comments.
 * 2) This is an ACADEMIC project. Do not use the blog for social conversations.
 * 3) Only post pictures if it part of an assignment (pictures take up a lot of server space).
