observed in writing an Email, in texting and other
communications on the web.

some
netiquette
guidelines:

5. Protect your
reputation
Whether in real or in virtual world, you
are the same person. do only what is
appropriate and share information that
does not harm you as a person.

6. Respect others
Respect begets respect. treat everyone
with respect even you have not seen
him/her in person. Be judicious about what
you say on on your own and other's pages.

7. Communication online is difficult because emotions
are not evident during communication.
Miscommunication usually takes place because your
facial expression and your body language cannot be
seen and the tone of your voice cannot be heard.
Thus, emoticons are readily available to show your
emotions.
Express yourself
clearly and use
emoticons

8. Remember the
intellectual
property
Ideas online are products of
intelligence of others. If you need to
cite them, acknowledge the authors.
You definitely do not want to steal
properties of others.

9. Since your face cannot be seen online , you
will be judge according to your posts. Good
writing means good manners. We do not
want to waste other people's time reading
our post which is incomprehensible.
Check spelling,
grammar and
punctuation

10. Take note that whatever you post
becomes permanent therefore think
twice or trice before click send.

11. Sharing your personal information online is like going
around the streets wearing a shirt printed with your
name, birthday, address, name of parents, etc. You
definitely do not want to reveal all this to many
people. Besides, providing all these publicly will make
you prone to identity theft.
Do not share
your personal
information

12. Think about who or
what you are
representing
As a son/daughter, you represent your
family. as a student, you represent your
school. You do not want your family or
school to be put to shame by what you do.

13. Thank
You!
