Network Etiquette Guidelines for Students

• Please be aware that you may be communicating with fellow students in many countries. When sending a note on an E-mail package, please respect the rights and cultural differences of others. Be courteous and never send insensitive, abusive or offensive messages.
• A good measure of appropriate language or descriptive situations would be those found in public television and PG rated movies. Language or situations which would not be heard or seen on both of these mediums is inappropriate. Please keep in mind, the youngest users may be in kindergarten.
• Pay attention to your grammar, spelling and subject matter. Many others may be reading your message. You want them to see your best work.
• Carefully observe copyright laws. This applies to software and all written messages. It is inappropriate to take credit for other people's work.
• It is appropriate to put your name on every note you send. If called for, include your age, school and location. Avoid posting a home address or phone number to public boards and lists. You should not give that information to people you do not know.
• Try to answer your E-mail as quickly as possible. People may be waiting for your response. E-mail messages that are no longer needed should be promptly deleted. This will avoid filling up your mailbox and disabling your terminal.
• It may be best to compose any long messages offline with pencil and paper, especially if others are waiting to use your terminal.
• Avoid sending personal notes to lists and public bulletin boards. Personal notes should be sent to an individual.
• Keep your password secret. Do not share your account or password with others.
• Do not impersonate an adult online. This is wrong. It is appropriate to let others know that you are under age if you are sending mail to an adult or participating in an adult discussion area.
• Please report any technical problems you may be experiencing to your supervising teacher.
