Be very clear from the very first sight when one accesses or opens it (be it your student, colleague or any other visitor);
• The pages and rubrics you form should look comprehensively and structured;
• The words that you use to entitle one or another page should reflect exactly what it comprises;
• Each Blog should have a design that will be pleasant for the reader’s eye and correspond the teaching aims;
• The words, phrases and images you use should be eye-catchy and inspiring;
• You should necessarily follow Blog Etiquette Tips

More Blog Help Motivation • Your Teacher’s blog should have all the facilities for your
students ( a dictionary on your page, a calendar, an additional tutorial if needed, data of the task, a simple and detailed explanation for students with special needs);
• The Assignments that you create should be clearly structured so that your students could understand the Task, especially those who missed the class;
Each Instruction should be explained simply and consequently;
• Provide the examples and enough facility information for the topics you consider to be the most difficult ones;
• Use the information (audio, video, any on-line techniques) that is relevant for your students’ language level and development;
• Mind the aims of the Teacher’s Blog when you create a Task or organize an activity: to develop certain skills and abilities;
• Involve all the students from your classes through the tasks you create, so that they could share the experience with each other and peer educate themselves;
• Be open to reflect and respond to all their questions;
