The World According To Blogs
I love the fact that IBM has released to their employees: IBM Blogging Policy and Guidelines
(courtesy of recent article Blogs Away: Why Blogs Are Important To Market Strategy by Jason L. Miller) because this could really provide a great educational framework of how schools can take blog initiatives in the same direction. Not only do they provide "fair use" initiatives to implement, they also provide their employees with civic issues that students and teachers should be made aware of when they enter the blogosphere.
#8 reads (from IBM Blogging Policy and Guidelines) "Respect your audience. Don't use ethnic slurs, personal insults, obscenity, etc., and show proper consideration for others' privacy and for topics that may be considered objectionable or inflammatory - such as politics and religion."
