Blog Guidelines

A couple reminders/clarifying points regarding the class blog:

* I do want to hear your honest opinion on the topics presented, but keep any critical comments constructive. The blog is not a place for whining and complaining. It's main purpose is to start conversations in order to make the class, team, or school better or more interesting.

* Refer to the "Blogging with Mr. Howman" handout, you do have an opportunity to earn extra credit. However, your comments must show that you put some thought into the topic presented, or that you are responding to someone else's comment or question. Thoughtful/insightful comments do not necessarily have to be long, they could be one liners that are a back and forth with other students. There are certain comments that will be accepted when they are comical or silly (rather than insightful) but do not plan on counting those on the blog record form.

Any comments that do not meet the two points above will be rejected and not be posted to the site.

With that said...keep the comments coming!!!!

Matt, it's okay to write about all sorts of different topics. If a comment brings us to another topic that's okay- as long as it is strictly complaining about something in school that we don't have any control over. Keep the comments rolling!

That's the whole idea, flyin! If other students would use it as much as you and some others we would really get things going!

Okay~ I understand everyone's feelings on the potential mold in the classrooms. The school department is sending a notice home tomorrow addressing certain steps that they are taking. For the time being, let's just wait and see what happens. Maybe the stuff on the walls isn't mold at all.

Just so we're clear- I like all comments, but not all comments can be counted toward the extra credit portion of the blog. Only "insightful" comments that shows you thought about the topics presented.

The black mold is grotesque and puts every students health in danger. I hope the health department doesn't close the school.

Sam- if you miss a day of school you still have to go and see that teacher for what you missed or e-mail. The blog is for responses to different topics.
