As a starting point we looked at the following website http://4kmand4kj.global2.vic.edu.au/guidelinessafety/blog-guidelines/
This blog has a good example of guidelines which they teach to their students and use to inform parents.
It is an important step to discuss the guidelines with our students and parents, informing them of the online behaviour that will help create good online behaviour that is safe and responsible. The way students interact online will help establish a good digital footprint. A digital footprint is everything that students post online, so it is important that they are positive. Our students, although very familiar with the use of technology doesn't necessarily mean that they will know what is appropriate or inappropriate when online.
Teaching Blogging guidelines:
- Have students brainstorm ways of staying safe. They could discuss this in small groups or as a whole group.
- Discuss the question How do we stay safe on the internet? Record their answers using a camera or have them create a short video explaining their answer.
- Read through the guidelines on the blog together as a class and discuss each point.
- Reinforce the guidelines every time students go online.
