In  this project we would like everyone to feel safe, included and valued so  for this project to work smoothly we need to follow some guidelines:

GDPR

Students participating in this project need to have a consent form signed by their parents/guardians.

As much as possible, students' faces shouldn't be showing in photos.  One might cover up one's face during an activity or have it blurred before being posted online.

Photos that include other people not involved in the project are not allowed.  (Do not upload photos with your family members/friends or people in the street)

Personal Safety

1. Keep your passwords safe, do not share with others.  If you lost your password ask your teacher.

2. Keep passwords safely stored, not where they can be accessed.

3. Log off the Twinspace when you aren't using it, from your device.

4. Do not disclose personal information: no private contact details, no sharing of personal problems or photos, not even through Twinmail.

5. What you write through your account appears on yourself.  Never let others use your account, never use the account of others.

Netiquette

1.  Be respectful. No offensive or hurtful language is allowed.

2.  Be open to other people's opinions.  Just because you don't agree with something, doesn't mean you have to judge it or the person saying it. Agree to disagree and drop it.

3.  Never be offensive, not even through "jokes" especially regarding references to gender, sexual orientation, ethicity, race, nationality, religion.  

4. What is a joke for you might not be a joke for someone else, it might cause offense and hurt. Avoid jokes. Sarcasm is not allowed.

5.  Be polite and respectful. Think before you post, choose your wording.  The way your message is understood is your responsibility too.

6.  Respect deadlines.   If you are late, it will effect everyone, as the work would be left incomplete and that the other partners cannot move on.  If you have a difficulty regarding completing a task, inform your teachers.

Copyright

1.  Make sure that the work you upload is purely yours, not copied from the internet or your classmate's. Plagiarism is a crime.

2. Do not just google and download photos. Make sure that the photos/videos/other materials that you use have a CC (creative commons) license.   If you purchased a resource and you may not share it, do not.

3.  Materials from pirating websites are not allowed.  

4.  When using Web 2.0 tools respect company's agreements.  If the free version means that your work has to be watermarked by the mentioned company, you may not remove that watermark.

5.  Some Web.2 tools/websites/apps have their own inbuilt CC licensed materials (music, photos etc) for you to help you out. Stick to these.

6.  Credit the authors of the materials and add references when you use websites/materials.
