Blogging in the elementary classroom

When I use a digital image on my blog, I can... (check all that are right)

• Find an image on Creative Commons to use with attribution.

• Create my own image and add an attribution.

• Copy something I find on a website.

• Draw something, take a picture of it and add to my blog with attribution.

What is an attribution?

• A picture

• A website address

• Name of creator and image source (location)

• A quote

One of the safest ways I can use images or music on my blog is to...

• Use something I created myself

• Get something from Google Images

• Download from a CD that I bought

• Record or take a picture of something someone else created.

Commenting on a blog includes

• The name of who is adding the comment

• A connection to the content of the post

• A list of corrections that need to be made

• A new story that's not related to the post

What is copyright?

• Personal safety on the internet

• The laws about how intellectual property can be used and shared.

• A license to share intellectual property

• Creative commons

Which of these statements are true about blogs?

• Blogs can be shared with people on the internet.

• Blogs are a way of sharing ideas and connecting with others online.

• Blogs can help readers to consider other people's ideas and thoughts.

• Blogs encourage students to practice digital citizenship.

A way you are protecting privacy and safety on your blog is...

• Telling my age and school on my blog.

• Always signing my full name on any comments I make.

• Sharing our names and pictures on our blogs.

• Using a made up blogging name

We use a made up blogging name because

• We are protecting private information.
