\nIn some ways, blogging definitely takes time. For my own site, I need the time to gather some information, create my own thoughts, take a picture, put a name\/stamp on it, and then post it all. I wish it was faster… I feel a personal pressure to do it, but, sometimes, I just don’t have the time.
\nFor school, I viewed it as a bit of a time saver, actually. I thought activities I created could be reused or pasted again in later years. I also found correcting written work and making comments faster on a blog than in paper form. I was able to return work with comments faster than I normally would have.<\/p>\n
\nI have never encountered any legal issues blogging personally or at\/for school. The only time something close came up was when I asked IT Shared Services about changing our school site to a WP blog. They said “No” because of safety concerns (mainly), I think. By the winter, our Dept. of Ed. was putting on a PD day where you could come and convert your site to WordPress.
\nOn the site listed, one thing that caught my eye was the freedom to blog about elections – I’m assuming this is an American site, talking about an American law. The last couple of elections that happened in Canada and PEI had some e-buzz around them, warning of the consequences of blogging or tweeting about results.<\/p>\n
\nI’ve attracted some, but it’s never been a huge hassle. Filtering has gotten better over the years.<\/p>\n
\nIt’s a concern, but I’ve yet to encounter it. It’s something to talk to students about ahead of time, and to make them aware of what their actions could mean.<\/p>\n
\nOn my school’s site, there isn’t much content, so that isn’t much of a concern. On my own site, I think it’s cool when people share or reference my blog online. I like seeing where I get traffic from. The only thing I don’t want to happen is for people to use my pictures without permission. So, I paste my site’s name in the corner of every picture… just in case.<\/p>\n
\nSee above… other than the above, I don’t know of anything in particular that’s in place in our district.<\/p>\n
\nFor my own site, I’m catering to a pretty content-specific audience. I’m not too worried about any facts that are incorrect, as most of my blog is opinion. I have yet to encounter any negative feedback.<\/p>\n
