8 easy tips to keep in mind when starting a personal education blog

I started my education blog to share and reflect upon my experiences in 2008. Here are some things I try to keep in mind as I blog.

	What	Advice
1	Email	Use a personal (not work) email.
2	Disclaimer	Consider placing a disclaimer in your profile. It might not help if you do something that is not wise, but it will let your readers know the perspective from which you are writing.
3	Who	Ask permission when identifying anyone in school community.
4	What	Only post that which you would feel comfortable saying face to face or having appear in the media.
5	When	Post outside work hours.
6	Logo	Do not use logos related to your employer.
7	Real name or Alias?	Consider using your own name and publishing ideas you stand behind. Sharing wonderful things about our profession is a win win and aliases are often not too difficult to undercover.
8	Mentioning your employer	Consider posting only that which you would be comfortable having a current or future employer read.
