Mr. Day's History Class: Here We Go

Here We Go

Welcome to Mr. Day's History Class. This blog is starting out as a page for a college class. I am hoping for it to turn into much more than that. The last two years I have been staying home with my twins, Alexis and Aiden. Before that I was teaching 7th Grade History at Paideia Academy in Apple Valley, MN. To keep in contact with students and their parents we used a daily email. Many days that email seemed to take up my entire prep hour. A blog would have made life so much simpler. I am hoping this will make communication quicker and easier when my career starts up again. This blog is primarily to be used as a classroom tool for students and parents. There will be links to educational resources for students, and teachers. I'm also including some fun links. This will not be a forum where I discuss any of my views on events of the day or my thoughts on history topics. This is just a classroom blog.

Please check back often for more updates.

Web Privacy and Safety Guidlines

1) Students using Web 2.0 tools are expected to keep their information private. You are not to give out your last name, username, password, email, address, phone number, school name, or any other information a person can use to contact you. You may post likes, interests, and opinions.

2) Students may only share their username and password with their teacher and parents. Students must not log in as another student.

3) Blogs and Wikis are the same as classroom space. Students are expected to act online the same as they would in a classroom. Students are encouraged to engage in respectful debate and conversation with other students.

4) Students should take care of the computers they are using. Students should never download software without a teacher's permission.

5) Students have the right to feel safe when blogging. Should a student come across something they find offensive they should contact a teacher immediately. Students should never respond to offensive posts.

6) Violation of the above guidelines will result in academic sanctions and/or in disciplinary action. The term “academic sanctions” includes, but is not limited to, the reduction or loss of grade, and applies regardless of a student’s location at the time the violation occurred. The term “disciplinary action” includes, but is not limited to, notification of law enforcement officials, and may apply even if the violation occurs while a student is off-campus.
