<strong>Using templates to prompt the requested info
----------------------------------------------</strong>

Please include in your posting the relevant sections documenting your work at your school this week (or this single visit or special event). The templates will indicate what kinds of information are requested, whether you just consult it as a guide or actually copy / paste / edit in your post.  The template is located below.

<strong> Use Categories to classify your report
-----------------------------------------</strong>

Please expand the Category listing below the text-edit area (when writing a post), and check off the boxes that apply to your report, including: your name; the day(s) of the week; the school(s) involved; and the kind of work performed.  Please both use the check boxes **and** include this data in your report itself.

(Why the redundancy? The checked categories enable lookup by someone using this blog in place; putting the info in the report will help readers seeing it through a feed or feed-to-email, which may not always capture the categories and authorship.)

<strong>Optionally: Use Tags to further classify your report
-----------------------------------------</strong>

Just below the text-edit area there is a text field were you can enter tags to help classify your school activity and report for later readers who can use the tag links to retrieve articles with a common element.  The system may suggest some tags based on what you have written; feel free to use these, or others you regard as more suitable.  (The school name and your name are already in the Categories, so there is no need to add them as Tags.)

<strong>Please document online sites and resources.
-----------------------------------------</strong>

If you worked on a web page for the school or for CUIP, or if you used an online resource, please paste the URL (or even create a link).
