Some of the rules and expectations

Rules and expectations:

1) Keep it focused on History or at least academics. If you want to create a blog to discuss your love of beanie babies, Twilight characters or BSU football stats, great, but this is not the spot. If it is cool academic stuff, add it to your blog. Parents, school staff, other students and I will be looking at this regularly, so keep it to the sort of things you want all to see.

2) I do encourage you to be as creative as possible and make your blog unique and interesting. Images, links, photos and any content added to your site must be academic in nature. If you find something interesting, please post it, but if you are questioning your judgment and asking, "should I do this?" or "would my mother approve?" it is probably not advisable.

3) When answering questions given, plagiarism and using the works of others. You are welcome to add information from different sites, but you must always give credit to those who came up with it first. Make it a link or a specific citation. If you are in doubt, cite it. If you try to pass work of someone else (even a fellow classmate) you will receive a zero.

4) You will be receiving weekly assignments and tasks via my blog. These are considered assignments and an important part of your overall grade. You are responsible for keeping up to date.
