    "Never forget that the person reading your mail or posting is, indeed, a person, with feelings that can be hurt. Here are some key points to keep in mind: * It's not nice to hurt other people's feelings. Who are you trying to prove anything to? Just keep offensive comments to yourself and try to be constructive. * Never type a whole message in caps, whethere its an instant message, a reply to a post in a message board, or in an email. writing a whole message in caps means that one is yelling (unless you do not mean it that way). If you do not mean it to come across that way, make sure you tell people you are not yelling. Remember, people can not tell what mood you are in by just typing something (unless you are using a webcam and microphone of course...). So please please please do not use caps to write messages. Thanks! * Never mail or post anything you wouldn't say to your reader's face. The internet is not a place to find or pick a fight. There are people out there with the same intentions you have of just researching and just finding useful information and that is all. No need to start any trouble. Please ;] * Notify your readers when flaming. For those of you who do not know what flaming is, here is the basic definition. Flaming is when a person or group of people decide to express their negativity about a certain situation, maybe a world event or something. The reason one is told to notify people when doing this is because some people may not know you are flaming. I mean, this is the internet. It's not like you have the person sitting in front of you where you can look at their face and tell they are mad or annoyed about something. So please, let people know that the post or message you are about to post is of this kind. On a side note, flaming can also be toward people. It can be toward their beliefs, comments they may have made, ideas, etc. Please do not do this kind of flaming. Again, we are trying to eliminate unneccessary confrontations o

10 Etiquette Tips For An Online Course - 0 views

  • 1.) Participation — unlike classroom settings, you can’t just “show up” and expect to pass the class. An online class is a community, and as such all are expected to participate. Discussion posts, opinions and feedback should be thoughtful and well-articulated so that everyone can enjoy a fun learning experience. 2.) Procrastination — do not wait until the last minute to do your work! Taking an online course means working with technology, and sometimes it can fail you. Work ahead of schedule so that any problems can be taken directly to the instructor for help, without losing time. 3.) Sharing — ideas, opinions and experiences should be shared with the whole community. Classmates may post questions on the Discussion Board, which you may be able to answer. Don’t keep information to yourself; in a community, everyone works together for the good of the whole. 4.) Proofread – before you press the SEND button, think about what you have written; you can’t take it back! A response to a classmate, a discussion post, an email to the instructor, make sure that you have said what you meant and that you mean what you said! 5.) Express — classmates and teachers cannot “see you”, so you have to be clear. Sarcasm, concern and other emotions are lost in an online environment if there is not enough information to back the statement up. 6.) Feedback — give feedback to your classmates and be open to theirs. Online classes function best when everyone is involved in the learning process. 7.) Respect — do not put down anyone’s ideas or thoughts, also state your own opinion in a way that is not hostile or overwhelming. Respect your classmates and they will respect you! 8.) Caution – be careful about statements that may come off as derogatory, racist or inappropriate for the classroom setting. If you wouldn’t say it in person, don’t say it online. 9.) Cheating – treat the class like an in-room course. Do not cheat, it only hurts your learning opportunities. 10.) Work hard! — to get the most out of it, you’ve got to put your best into it! Work hard and achieve results!

  • Safety By Age 14 to about 17: This can be one of the most exciting and challenging periods of a child's (and parent's) life. Your teen is beginning to mature physically, emotionally, and intellectually and is anxious to experience increasing independence from parents. To some extent that means loosening up on the reins, but by no means does it mean abandoning your parenting role. Teens are complicated in that they demand both independence and guidance at the same time. Teens are also more likely to engage in risky behavior both online and offline. While the likelihood of a teen being abducted by someone he meets in a chat room is extremely low, there is always the possibility that he will meet someone online who makes him feel good and makes him want to strike up an in-person relationship. It is extremely important that teens understand that people they meet online are not necessarily who they seem to be. Although it's sometimes difficult to indoctrinate teens with safety information, they can often understand the need to be on guard against those who might exploit them. Teens need to understand that to be in control of themselves means being vigilant, on the alert for people who might hurt them. The greatest danger is that a teen will get together offline with someone she meets online. If she does meet someone she wants to get together with, it's important that she not go alone and that she meet that person in a public place. It's important for parents to remember what it was like when they were teenagers. Set reasonable expectations and don't overreact if and when you find out that your teen has done something online that you don't approve of. That doesn't mean that you shouldn't take it seriously and exercise appropriate control and discipline, but pick your battles and try to look at the bigger picture. If your teen confides in you about something scary or inappropriate that he encountered online, your first response shouldn't be to take away his Internet privileges. Try to be supportive and work with your teen to help prevent this from happening in the future. And remember that your teen will soon be an adult and needs to know not just how to behave but how to exercise judgment, reaching her own conclusions on how to explore the Net and life in general in a safe and productive manner.

    "Is it possible to be fully literate in English without being fluent. By literate I mean able to read most content easily and to write correctly. By fluent I do not refer to pronunciation, just the ability to express oneself orally. I am not talking about theoretically. I mean is it possible to imagine a person, other than a deaf/mute, who is literate and not fluent? In other words, is pursuing literacy a strategy for achieving fluency. "

    This tells how if your literate, then you are also most likely fluent. Your not just one or the other.

    "Why is fluency important? Comprehension is the goal of reading, and fluency is required for comprehension (National Reading Panel, 2000, p.3-1). At a minimum, accurate and efficient word reading is necessary. Comprehension suffers when poor readers must focus on "getting the words off the page" and therefore areble to give much attention to the meaning of what they are reading. In contrast, fluent readers are able to focus on meaning because for them, decoding is automatic and effortless. "

    "Inevitably, though, they listen - and they learn." I've found that using popular music in lectures also increases my credibility among students. They see music as their territory, and are often surprised when a professor understands something they are familiar with - or think they are.-ProfHacker Personally, I think this is really cool that teachers are branching out this far just to reach us and help us learn. Some music might not be appropriate for listening to in the classroom for a subject, so that means you would have to take time and experiment. These 4 characteristics will help you realize how just how helpful doing this could really be: Vocabulary. Music can help start discussions about language use and get students thinking about the way we use words and phrases. Imagery. Music videos offer an entrée into such things as gender and social roles, fashion and sexuality, not only through sound but through the accompanying images. Cultural references. Popular songs allude to many elements of popular culture, providing a means to explore current events, celebrity culture, politics and the boundaries of taste. History. Today's music evolves from yesterday's music, which evolved from previous music in the past. Finding those connections can be eye-opening.

  • In this digital age, bullying is no longer relegated to the schoolyard. Bullies can now attack in the place kids should feel the safest -- their homes. Instead of physically harming or verbally attacking their victims, cyberbullies use the Internet, cell phones and other technology to hurt, threaten and embarrass others. Because it is done online, the effect of cyberbullying is more far-reaching and enduring than bullying that occurs at school. Cyberbullies can victimize their targets in a variety of ways, including the following: Creating websites that make fun of or criticize another person Sending mean or threatening emails, instant messages or text messages Pretending to be someone else to trick their victim into revealing personal information Lying about their victim online Breaking into their victim's email or instant messages Posting unflattering or offensive pictures online, without permission Using websites to rate their peers In most instances, the victims of cyberbullying know their attackers. They are often classmates, friends or online acquaintances. One study showed that only 23 percent of victims were bullied by someone they didn't know.

  • Nearly every study performed on the topic has found not only a direct correlation between age and Internet addiction, but also one between age and neglect of work. That is to say that teenagers and young adults are more likely to be addicted to the Internet than any other age group, and among all people suffering from this addiction, teenagers and young adults are more likely to neglect work (school or employment) than older adults with similar addictive behavior. In fact, in the most widely recognized study of its kind, age was the only factor that was a direct and constant contributor to this addiction across all other factors.[1] While this may be good news, suggesting that teenagers and young adults might grow out of their addiction (or reduce their intake) as they age, because this is a new "genre" of behavior, this data might simply reveal that teenagers and young adults are "early adapters." What this means, essentially, is that they may have found this addiction before the rest of the population. If this is the case, today's Internet-Addicted teenagers and young adults may carry it with them into adulthood. In fact, Stanford University's School of Medicine found that nearly one in eight Americans suffers from at least one sign of problematic Internet abuse (although this does not in and of itself constitute addiction).[2] Internet abuse is so widespread that the DSM (Diagnostic and Statistic Manual of Mental Disorders), which is published by the American Psychiatric Association, is reported to be considering adding it to its next release, alongside such issues as bipolar disorder, schizophrenia and borderline personality disorders.[3] Indeed, as children and teenagers are still developing their brains, they may grow accustomed to the speed and flashy graphics associated with the Internet and actually adapt their physiology, developing problems such as ADHD, and becoming generally more impatient than people raised without the instant gratification offered by the Internet

  • Digital Etiquette 1. Here is some tips that you should follow when talking online, texting, or emailing: 2. Say Hello before you start talking. It’s polite and it can make somebody happy knowing that somebody is nice enough to say hello. 3. Try to avoid replying “Sure”. A person will go crazy trying to figure out “Sure” what? Also, depending on who you are talking to online, the person may know little of your language and might not understand what you are saying, so be patient. 4. Avoid trailing off. If you stop responding to somebody all of the sudden they might think you’re ignoring them. If you have to go and do something say “BRB” or “one sec”. It will calm any worries, which the person has, who you are communicating to. 5. Don’t post people’s photos without their permission. Somebody might have a religion where they're not allowed to have they're pictures online. 6. Accept differences. Everybody has different beliefs. Don’t make fun of somebody’s religion or country because people can really get offended about what you say. 7. Talk about things that are appropriate. Chat rooms are for anyone who wants to talk to new people. One inappropriate comment can ruin it for everyone. You should always be aware to whom you are talking to and if they ask you to do anything which you feel uncomfortable about then tell an adult immediately so then the problem won't get out of hands. 8. Say bye before you leave the person whether its in person or online. You could seriously hurt somebody’s feelings if you just stop talking to them. 9. Be careful the way you type something. What you write can sound very different than what you mean. Read your writing before you press send. It could save you from an embarrassing situation. 10. Avoid writing in all capital letters. It looks like you're shouting. Wouldn't you think I was shouting if you saw this, DON'T WRITE IN ALL CAPITAL LETTERS.

  • Digital Etiquette or netiquette is a basic set of rules you should follow to make the internet a better place for other people and yourself.
  • When you instant message, chat, or email someone over the internet, that person can't tell if your just joking because they can't see your face. Don't say stuff over the internet that can be taken the wrong way or can hurt someones feelings
  • The internet takes over some peoples lives and people can get brain washed so easily when on the computer. Hacking other computers, using bad language, downloading illegally, and plagiarism are examples of having bad or no etiquette when it comes to the internet.
  • Etiquette is a set of rules dealing with exterior form
  • Middle/ High School Aged Students Teenagers these days are only on the internet to chat with their friends they know, or to look at cool videos or pictures.Myspace and Facebook are easy ways for teenagers to get access to the internet. These two websites have caused a lot of controversies over the internet because some teenagers will put bad pictures on the internet of themselves or other people. Every once in a while fights will occur between people who are trying to make each other look bad. It gives them a bad reputation and it ruins friendships all over the world. I just think that if teenagers would act mature then a lot of these things would not happen.
  • Online plagiarism is where internet users copy or use part of your or someone else's work. It is definitely not acceptable and is becoming a major issue. People need to have the right to place information on the internet knowing that it will not be copied for other people's work. Plagiarism is illegal but people still don't get the message. Plagiarism really could start major problems like people not writing the truth on the internet or making up information just to teach people a lesson. If someone is going to copy other people's work really they are better off handing the work in late or not at all. Using people's ideas is okay if you give them recognition or asked them. Plagiarism is equal to lying, if not worse. People are being generous by putting their knowledge on the internet to help people not to do it for people. Have courtesy and respect- don't copy peoples work use it as a guide and acknowledge them for their work and help. Plagerism- it's illegal so do the right thing.
  • ownloading illegally is one of the things not do in digital etiquette. Using file sharing programs such as KaZaA, Bit Torrent, iMesh, and Lime Wire to share or obtain copyrighted music, movies, games, and other software without the permission of the copyright holder is illegal. Stealing music has lots of effects once done. Some of the effects are listed below. Stealing music is against the law. Stealing music betrays the songwriters and recording artists who create it. Stealing music stifles the careers of new artists and up-and-coming bands. Stealing music threatens the livelihood of the thousands of working people—from recording engineers to Christian music retailers and their staffs —who are employed in this ministry.
  • Downloading Illegally
  • Some ways on avoiding stealing music are: Read user agreements carefully. Check the Web sites of the musicians, record companies, or movie studios to see if they allow distribution of their materials on the Internet. When purchasing music, movies, games, software, or other materials, read the license carefully to learn if you have permission to convert materials to other formats for personal use. Don't share or distribute materials unless you have permission. Of course, there are consequences to this kind of action. For one you can be fined of at least $500 dollars. The online infringement of copyrighted music can be punished by up to 3 years in prison and $250,000 in fines," the website said. "Repeat offenders can be imprisoned up to 6 years. Individuals also may be held civilly liable, regardless of whether the activity is for profit, for actual damages or lost profits, or for statutory damages up to $150,000 per infringed copyright. " To avoid these kinds of consequences you must avoid downloading illegally. I suggest that you follow the ways on avoiding these sort of consequences.
  • Some people have had both positively and negatively affected by internet etiquette. An example of negative etiquette on the internet is like if a person copies somebody's work without their permission and then the person who got copied goes and deletes that person's work
  • Don't type in all caps it looks like you're shouting which can offend some people which are on the other end of the computer because when you are talking to a person in face its easier to get your point across than talking online. Also if you try to do humor on the computer someone might not know that it is humor, and might take it as personal and you can get in trouble in all sorts of ways. Another thing is don't send rude messages or offensive e-mails to one another. It bad manners and it can get way out of hand in no time. Although you might be a pro at cyberspace be nice to the new comers. For a new comer on computers it is like learning a different language for them. Computers take a lot of practice and it is also called for mistakes. So be nice to everyone you meet and also try to help them if you can.
  • Another example is if you do something very funny and one of your friends got you on video tape and he goes and posts it on YouTube

  • Just a bit of advice for the middle and high school students, put the phone on silent and leave it alone while you are driving because you can really get hurt!
  • Also you can still teach kids to sit correctly when your on a computer
  • So they are just naturally harder to teach than anyone else
  • one of the teachers said that walking into a room without computers was like walking into a desert.
  • This video is all about minor cases of what can and will happen if you text and drive.
  • Here are some pictures of some of the worse things that can happen.
  • Middle school and high school students are more likely to text and drive because they don't know all about the dangers of texting and driving

      I agree.
  • One is that they are more affected by predators
  • The second is WE have to keep them from getting too much computer consumption
  • Doctors say kids should only get 1 or 2 hours of "screen time" a day.
  • People of all ages are becoming more and more dependent on computers and mobile phones.
  • Digital health and wellness is about staying fit and healthy I think. People that spend to much on computers or use there mobile phones to much should cut down heaps.
  • A. Elementary Aged Students Don't let them stay on the computer for extended amounts of time, don't let them get on Myspace or Facebook, and when they are on the computer the parents should always be watching them no matter what. B. Middle / High School Aged Students The middle school students should be allowed a little more freedom but by the same token i don't think that they should be allowed to get on Myspace or Facebook. Those things will bring a lot more trouble than anything else. Do you think that the people on Myspace are looking for a good christian page or a page that has a lot of bad pictures on it? I don't have a Myspace or Facebook and truly I don't want one. C. Adults Adults should be allowed to do what they want. I mean really what can we do to stop them? Nothing!! We can try all that we want to but adults get more addicted and are harder to get out of that habit. Then again I think that the adults will be the best influence for the young kids and if they will try and spread the word for the kids they can do anything for them that they want to

    Being aware of another cultures religion and their holidays is very important. When you know these things about them it helps you get along with them better and create a relationship with them. Cultural awareness becomes central when we have to interact with people from other cultures. People see, interpret and evaluate things in a different ways. What is considered an appropriate behavior in one culture is frequently inappropriate in another one. Misunderstandings arise when I use my meanings to make sense of your reality.

Everything from business transactions, buying and selling, socializing or simply blogging your thoughts are conducted over the internet. Net etiquette is a fusion of the internet and good manners in cyberspace. Though nothing is really concrete in cyberspace it is important to bear in mind that the internet involves millions of people. It is like a world in a gadget, but the people you are dealing with on the other end are real and not mere avatars. Our generation now lives in the internet; there are formalities and guidelines to follow to render professionalism, courtesy, and order making the internet more useful and effective as possible. The very basic rule in Netiquette is thinking before posting. Be careful with any personal, confidential or legal matters sent through email messages. Remember, emails can be forwarded to anyone. Unsolicited messages are spam and detested by everyone. Chain letters can be one example; it would be best to delete it and not forward it. Be careful when spreading warnings about Internet viruses sometimes it may just be a hoax. Many get fooled by this and immediately copy paste and send it to everyone in their mail list. You may end up getting a lot of junk mail or spam in the process. DO NOT CAPITALIZE TOO MUCH or it may seem like you are shouting and this is rude. Lessen the use of acronyms, BRB for “be right back” and etc. Not everyone is familiar with this internet lingo. Acronyms may be ideal in the chat room but unprofessional in email. Make use of the FAQ, Frequently Asked Questions, it is a form of orientation for news groups and social networks. Bear in mind that everything has consequences anything you do will affect you. Not observing proper Netiquette may mean losing your internet account. Share "

  • Quick Tips for Netiquette Think before you write! Ask yourself: "Would I say that to their face?" or "Would I say that in front of my mother?" If something upsets you, wait at least 24 hours before responding. Avoid using all capital letters. Try using symbols to show emphasis instead. Use emoticons to show expression, but don't get too carried away. They will help others interpret your meaning. Take the time to proofread, spell check, and send the right impression of yourself.

    "# Never type a group of words or a phrase in upper case. IT MAKES IT LOOK AS THOUGH YOU ARE SHOUTING, doesn't it? Other people will get the feeling that you are being a bit rude. The best idea is to stick to regular sentence case when blogging, emailing, commenting, messaging, etc… # Always speak to others the way you would expect yourself to be spoken to in the physical world. Do not curse, swear, or insult others- just imagine what you'd feel like if you were spoken to like that! # Make use of emoticons like :) and :( which help you to get your message across. At certain times, what you write in emails or messages may be misunderstood (omg i have too much experience in this matter lol) and using emoticons will help the understanding of your message. They also add a bit of color and interest to the message. # Patience is the key on the web these days. If you are upset or angry about something, try and wait a while before writing another message. This way, you can calm down and think carefully about your wording in terms of politeness. Remember, once you hit 'send', your message has gone into cyberspace forever! # Get to the point! Do your best to keep your messages brief and to the point. This way, the receiver will get a clear understanding of what you mean to say. # Be careful with using the "Reply All" option whilst in contact online. Do you really want everyone to get this message or only the person who sent it to you? # If someone bullies you or writes something bad to you, don't insult them back. Why? Cause it just doesn't work! Simply ignoring them or blocking their messages does the trick. If your using a messaging service like AOL, Yahoo, or Gmail (As well as thousands of others) then here's a little way of permanently annoying them. Save a copy of every email that was sent to you which you considered offensive and send directly to the administrators or customer service. This will most likely ban the perpetrator from ever using the ser

  • Today, the term "virtual world" means a lot of things to a lot of people. To many, it means 2D online social games like Gaia Online or Club Penguin. To some, it means large-scale massively-multiplayer online games like World of Warcraft. And to others, it's open-ended 3D experiences like Second Life.
  • One could argue that virtual worlds have even taken a technological step backward, as most of the energy in the space these days is being put into building 2D Flash worlds for kids, or Facebook games played by the masses. It's big business, but hardly cutting edge.
  • The biggest danger at the moment for those who want to see rich, 3D virtual worlds take off right away is the massive popularity of social networks like Facebook and Twitter.

  • the future's not going to be all text and Flash windows. The fact that it is right now speaks to the deep human desire for real life connections and instantaneousness that new types of virtual worlds have to learn from. But I can't see it stopping there...I see social networks like Facebook that put everyone in the real world one click away as the foundational piece that was missing from a lot of last generation virtual worlds. Now there's a new wheel to build on.

Etiquette-emoticons and acronyms

  • Ironically, the origin of the smiley face is a highly controversial debate. The most accepted belief is that graphic artist Howard Ball of Worcester, MA, created the smiley when asked to design a morale boosting campaign. He started with just the smile, but soon realized disgruntled employees might turn it upside down to a frown, so he added eyes.  Other Emoticons:   :) The classic smile. "I'm happy" or "my meaning is positive." Some Word programs will automatically turn this into a graphic after hitting return.   ;)   The wink. "Just kidding," sarcasm, etc.    :-)  Smiley with a nose.   :-D     Laughing. A slightly goofier version of the smiley, this one signifies a particularly happy mood or a laughing response.   8)       Glasses or sunglasses. The cool smiley.  :p       Tongue hanging out. Self-explanatory.    :(  The frown. Disappointed or sad.    >:  Angry face.  :x        Sick face.  :O       Embarassed or shocked.  0:-)     Angel with halo. "Who, me?"  >:-)  Evil grin.    2.  Chat Acronyms.  Verdan

    Stalkers are all over Facebook and that is the most populated place on the internet these days. Everyone needs to be cautions on the internet because you don't know who could be watching you. "Dealing with a situation of being stalked on Facebook can be complicated by the fact that Facebook causes us to view our connections as "friends". That can make getting rid of these stalkers tough, because they just don't seem to go away, and you don't want to be mean to them. Yet, allowing their behavior to diminish your enjoyment of Facebook is no option at all, and there are some things you can try to get them to stop Facebook stalking."

    We should all remember that we all have our own opinions and thoughts, and that just because someone has a different thought than you, it doesn't mean that they are wrong. "-Respect each other's ideas -Respect the other group members -Don't interrupt each other -Everyone's opinion should count -Be honest with each other"
