2. NETIQUETTE
• The dictionary.com definition is “the rules of etiquette that apply when using computer
networks”.
• My definition is knowing what to or what not to say, post, or share online.
• You have to know what is right and what is wrong.
• It is also respecting people’s privacy (Netiquette 1990).

3. NETIQUETTE
• You should use generally the same rules as you would use in real life.
• This means no inappropriate content or language.
• Some people do not follow these rules.
• Therefore you should never release private information online.
Always Remember
Think Before You Send!!!

4. COPYRIGHT http://chrisbourg.files.wordpress.com/2009/01/copyright-symbol.jpg?w=96&h=96

they are trying to copyright.
• There used to be a law saying all things had to have a copyright notice, according to
copyright.gov, but the law is no longer a law. Although they say it is beneficial to add the
notice.

http://tutorials.sjlibrary.org/tutorial/plagiarism/source/images/plag03.jpg
• There are two types of plagiarism. Word-for-word and paraphrase.
• Word-for-word is basically copy and pasting a work. Changing one word to a synonym of
it, or taking out a part or so, is still word-for-word.
• Paraphrase is when you take another idea or work, but put it in your won words. It is still
not your original idea, so it is still stealing.
• Both types of plagiarism are illegal, and have the same consequences.

8. PLAGIARISM
• Plagiarism is stealing someone's work and claiming it as your own. It is similar to
copyright..
• A way to make sure you don’t write anything that did not come from your common
knowledge.
• If you do copy something word-for-word, you must put in in “quotation marks” and cite it in
the reference page and after the sentence.
• If you paraphrase something, you should cite it the same way, only take out the quotation
marks.
