Editor's Notes
Hello. I’m Mrs. Byzewski and today I am going to give you an overview of the Netiquette guidelines for our class this year. Then at the end of the presentation you will get a chance to do an online scavenger hunt and answer some questions about good Netiquette on the web.
Netiquette comes from the two words “Net” and “Etiquette”. So basically, Netiquette is good etiquette on the web. Netiquette is the proper way to behave and communicate when using the Internet.
The Golden Rule states that we should treat others the way that we want to be treated. This holds true when communicating online, also. Just because you don’t see the other person doesn’t mean you can be rude. Remember that there is a real person who is receiving what you are writing. Treat that person with respect. We will follow some basic rules in our class. Firstly, Use Polite Language. You should speak to each other the same way you would if you were face to face. Secondly, don’t use curse words. Remember there will be a record of everything you write. Another basic Netiquette rule is Don’t use all caps. All caps means you are shouting and that is considered bad Netiquette. Lastly be kind when you are responding to a classmate. If you are angry, wait 24 hours before you respond. If you are doing a critique of a classmate’s post or project remember the golden rule and respond with kindness. Respond the same way you would want someone to respond to you.
We will be having three main types of communication in this class. Discussion posts are the way you will be presenting the information that you are learning. Discussion posts should be a showcase of your best work and should be presented in a polished, academic format. Spelling, grammar, and punctuation will all be graded in discussion posts. Acronyms and emoticons should not be used in discussion posts. If you are responding to a discussion post, however, you may use an emoticon.
Email will often be used in this class for communication purposes. When sending an email please make sure to include your name and subject information. While email will not be graded it is important not to sound too casual when you email. Remember everything you write creates an impression. In academic and job settings, it is important to keep your correspondence professional. Always do a spell check to catch for errors. Emoticons are acceptable but if you need to use an acronym then make sure it is on the acceptable list that is posted in these slides in order to ensure that everyone will understand it.
When we have assignments that incorporate chatting, misspellings are acceptable but please make sure that your message is clear. Follow good Netiquette by keeping your messages brief to allow for everyone to get a chance to participate. Acronyms should be used to speed up communication but make sure they are the acceptable ones. These are included on the next slide.
These are acceptable acronyms for this class that you should be aware of. If you have other acronyms that you think should be included please email me and I will consider adding them to the list. Don’t forget to include your name and a subject line when you email me.
Now that you are aware of the principles of proper Netiquette, I expect all students to demonstrate good Netiquette at all times. Unkind words and bullying will not be tolerated. The first time a student is demonstrating bad netiquette, he or she will be warned. Remember that all communication is being monitored and recorded, and situations of bad Netiquette are documented. If there is a second offense, your parent will be notified. If there is a third offense, you and your parent will have to have a conference with me and possibly the administration. The goal is for everyone to have a safe and positive experience online in our class. I look forward to working with all of you this year.
