Here’s the advice for independent teacher bloggers:

DEALING WITH INDEPENDENTLY BLOGGING TEACHERS

Urge teachers to blog and provide staff development.
Produce a document that describes the legal implications of blogging and suggests proper and responsible practices.
Deliver the message: “Don’t be stupid.”

The proactive take is nice. Urge your teachers to blog but educate them about best practices, etc. Same can be said for a library’s independent blogging librarians.
