To Do

1. Create a blogging cheat sheet that will provide staff with directions on how to log in and use the Edublogs blogging tool. We also need to create a simplified cheat sheet for students: "How To Post"

2. Develop school-wide blogging protocals/acceptable use policy (safety, privacy, posting, commenting, etc.)

3. Add teacher and student accounts. Teachers must create accounts with Edublogs, and then email blogging administator so they can be added as "Editors".

4. Discuss techniques for motiviating staff to use blog as part of daily practice. Is that asking too much?

5. How will we publicize the blog to teachers

6. Create a list of the main tags we will use for posting
