Blog Privacy:

Through the Carey Blogging program, positive online behaviours are taught and reinforced.  The following guidelines are followed to ensure the children are safe and secure whilst online:

• Students’ first names, photos, work, video and school name MAY be included on the blog.
• Students’ surnames, address, email address, phone number, specific plans, date of birth and other personal information WILL NOT be included on the blog.
• All posts and comments have to be screened and approved by the teacher before they are included on the blog. We look at the appropriateness of blog posts. We do not edit grammar and spelling as we wish for the blogs to be an authentic representation of the student’s voice.
• Students will be encouraged to comment on other class/student blogs with teacher/parent supervision.
• Parents who leave comments are asked to use their first name only so as not to identify their child. For example, Please identify yourself in comments as “Jane – Sally’s mum” rather than “Jane Brown – Sally’s mum”.
• All comments must be polite, respectful and courteous.
• Others’ work, images, music or videos will not be used without permission and attribution.

The Carey Blogging program uses the Edublogs platform, an educational blogging platform run by WordPress.
