Classroom Netiquette Rules

Miss Graff’s

7th grade Netiquette Guidelines
for internet use…

1.)When you are using a computer YOU are in control, don’t take advantage of your freedom rights. YOU are responsible for your own actions.

2.)Respect your fellow online mates

3.)Treat others the way you want to be treated. For example, if you post a blog or video you came up with on the internet and someone steels it or “plagiarizes” your own thoughts you would be upset, so don’t return the favor.

4.)Use valuable sources such as .gov, .org, encyclopedia’s or library sources, avoid Wikipedia or junk sites.

5.)Watch the way you “type” in any sort of email, IM, or blog, and avoid using capital letters because it may portray aggressiveness.

6.)Do not post any private information about yourself or others on the internet. Use passwords and be smart about your actions presented through the internet.

7.)When emailing keep these in mind:
Short and to the point
Always use spell check!
Make sure you demonstrate a subject matter
Make sure the reader comprehends the message the way you want them to

8.)Be open-minded for online discussion but keep all these guidelines in mind.
