- How to make sure that students do not misuse blogs?
- How do we get students to respect other students' views and to think before posting?
- How to ensure students' post relevant stuff (and not rubbish) on the blog (responsibility issues)?
- User Etiquette - or a set of ground rules to be established before the activity. This can come from the pupils. See hyperlinks at right panel.
- "What is good and what is not good.", "What kind of feedback would you like to see?" Get students to briefly discuss what they hope to see when they await the response from others and what they do not want to see when others respond to their posting.
- It is also necessary to remind them that the way they write (the language they use) reflect their thoughts and it leaves an impression on others about themselves, and everybody see it!
- Practise courtesy and respect each other's viewpoints. Emphasize that they are responsible of what they say.
- When undesirable comment is posted - eg. one scolds another or use unpleasant words: Do not delete the comment immediately. Create that teaching moment before removing it.
- Get students to post with their names. Otherwise, comments will not be entertained and will be removed.
- Another suggestion: Surface the observation and/or work together with teacher(s) of other programmes like CME or Cyberwellness in inculcating the desired values.
Note: Baseline ICT Standards for Pupils - Ethnics in the use of technology.
