Trust/Monitor Policy

New Kid Project GLP
http://www.mrhenges.com/newkidproject/?page_id=332

This trust/monitor policy, from one of our own that came before us, is short and sweet. I think it’s a good thing. I realize that websites that see a larger amount of web traffic have to be more thorough. However, in this case I think short and sweet fit. This policy emphasizes teacher approval and what is expected in the forums

Twitter

Considerably longer than the first, Twitter just about covers everything. The first part of the policy focuses on not breaking the law. On Twitter you may not post threats, other people’s personal information, infringe on any copyright or trademark, or impersonate someone else. Twitter follows with a lengthy section on rules to ensure its users have a good experience, such as forbidding spam and selling user names. What’s interesting is that both policies state that they can change at any time. It just made me realize that even though something might be considered obvious it needs to be stated


My GLP Trust/Monitor Policy

The following are rules, that participants of this project need to follow when on this website. The intention of these rules are to provide a fun and safe atmosphere for all involved.

Awesome Quote!!

If you saw the Oscars Sunday night you saw this quote but I just had to share it again to point out how awesome it is!!

"It's not the load that breaks you but how you carry it"
Lena Horne

Which instantly made me think of this passage!!

Matthew 11:28-30 (The Message)

28-30"Are you tired? Worn out? Burned out on religion? Come to me. Get away with me and you'll recover your life. I'll show you how to take a real rest. Walk with me and work with me—watch how I do it. Learn the unforced rhythms of grace. I won't lay anything heavy or ill-fitting on you. Keep company with me and you'll learn to live freely and lightly."

Week 1 Reflection

Sorry to bother you guys (if it wasn't bothering you it sure bothered me) I went ahead and took down my week one reflection since it played automatically after you loaded my page and since I'm sure everyone has heard it by now.

You Guys ROCK!!
