Guidelines for posting on blog

Remember, this is an extension of the classroom. Be polite! No personal attacks. No inappropriate language. Remember that others might not be text savvy so please limit your abbreviations. There is a spell editor in the comment posting box, use it. If an inappropriate posting is made it will be copied, printed and removed. I will then consider disciplinary action of the poster. No credit will be given for that posting.

Students
You may earn extra credit. For each completed project you will earn a grade of 12 on an extra homework or quiz grade. This way, even the best student, can always improve their grade.

Make sure that you complete all parts of the project.

1. Click on the link that says 'Comments.

2. At the bottom of the screen you will see a place to enter your comment.

3. Write whatever you need to in order to complete the written part.

4. If you need to add a link, follow the instructions at this link to embed your URL. If you are supposed to use an article you must use an entire article, not an abstract. An abstract is a paragraph that tells what the article is about.
4a. If there is a link, check it to make sure it is working. If it is not, go back and check the typing. When yu ard sure it works, publish.

5. At the bottom of your post, write your First Name Initial and Last Name Initial (there are a few students that will have to use two initials of either their first or last names. I will tell you who you are.) and the color section you are in (Red, Yellow or Green). Please, no last names.

6. Check the spelling. Proofread. These can be done in the comment box or you can prepare your post in a word processor and cut and paste it when you are finished.

7. Click "Publish Your Comment" to post your entry. Post at anonymous. You may also post with one of the other ID choices.

That's it for an extra credit APHSBioBlog entry!

If you have difficulty posting send me an email with your completed project and the message you got when you tried to post.

Parents and AP community
Feel free to enter our class discussion, but you must identify yourself. If you are shy and don’t want to use your full name, you may write me separately and use initials or a nickname. But I must be able to identify all posters. Sorry you will not get any extra credit for this, but might just stimulate a student.

If there is any need to change the ID guidelines, you will be notified on this site.
