Etiquette Class with Mr. Bonachera

  •  

    Welcome, pupils, to my class.

    Here you're going to learn about how to behave on the internet and when you work together with other students.

    The rules you must follow is called "Netiquette", a word formed by NETWORK and ETIQUETTE

    Netiquette” refers to rules of etiquette that apply to online communication.

    Follow these 15 rules of netiquette to make sure you sound respectful, polite, and knowledgeable when you post to your class’s online discussion boards.

     

    Look at this infographic and read the transcription:

     

     

    1. Before posting your question to a discussion board, check if anyone has asked it already and received a reply. Just as you wouldn’t repeat a topic of discussion right after it happened in real life, don’t do that in discussion boards either
    2. Stay on topic – Don’t post irrelevant links, comments, thoughts, or pictures.
    3. Don’t type in ALL CAPS! If you do, it will look like you’re screaming.
    4. Don’t write anything that sounds angry or sarcastic, even as a joke, because without hearing your tone of voice, your peers might not realize you’re joking.
    5. Always remember to say “Please” and “Thank you” when soliciting help from your classmates.
    6. Respect the opinions of your classmates. If you feel the need to disagree, do so respectfully.
    7. If you reply to a question from a classmate, make sure your answer is accurate!
    8. If you ask a question and many people respond, summarize all answers and post that summary to benefit your whole class.
    9. Be brief. If you write a long dissertation in response to a simple question, it’s unlikely that anyone will spend the time to read through it all.
    10. Don’t badmouth others or call them stupid. You may disagree with their ideas, but don’t mock the person.
    11. Run a spelling and grammar check before posting anything to the discussion board.
    12. Be forgiving. If your classmate makes a mistake, don’t badger him or her for it. Just let it go – it happens to the best of us.

    RULE OF THUMB: If you wouldn’t do or say something in real life, don’t do it online either.
