Download Would you say it to the person`s face?

Netiquette
• "Netiquette" is network
etiquette, the do's and
don'ts of online
communication.
Another term is digital
citizenship. It applies
to cellphone texts and
all social media.
Would you say it to the
person's face?
If the answer is no, rewrite and
reread your words. You should
work feel as comfortable saying
these words to the live person as
you do sending them through
cyberspace.
Another reason not to be offensive
online
• When you use online
digital communication
-- via email, online
communities, or
cellphone text -- your
words are written.
Your words are likely
stored somewhere
and you may not
control what happens
to the content.

What does the school say?
• Disruptive behavior in the classroom will not be
tolerated, as it infringes on the educational rights
of others.
• Irresponsible use of technology: (cell phones,
tablets, etc.) When teachers allow, participants
should use personal devices during the
instructional day to support their educational
activities and maintain academic integrity in all
their work at all times. Access for personal
reasons is secondary and must not disrupt the
school day or the learning of others.
