Use clear and concise language.Remember that all communication should have correct spelling and grammar (this includes discussion boards). Avoid slang terms such as “wassup?” and texting abbreviations such as “u” instead of “you.” Use standard fonts such as Ariel, Calibri or Times new Roman and use a size 10 or 12 pt. font Avoid using the caps lock feature AS IT CAN BE INTERPRETTED AS YELLING. Limit and possibly avoid the use of emoticons like :) Be cautious when using humor or sarcasm as tone is sometimes lost in an email or discussion post and your message might be taken seriously or sound offensive. Be careful with personal information (both yours and other’s). Do not send confidential information via e-mail.When participating in a Zoom meeting, you should always:The teacher is the administrator of the Zoom meeting. If the teacher is kicked out of the meeting NO STUDENT is to allow any other students into the Zoom meeting.Be dressed school appropriate and log in on-time.Participate in the Zoom meeting in a quiet area of your home.Inappropriate content must not be visible in the Zoom meeting.Keep your video turned on.You shouldn’t just have the teacher’s meeting on in the background.Keep your audio turned off unless you have something to say.? Most homes have background noise, and when fifteen people are all on one Zoom together, it’s very distracting.? Holding down the space bar will unmute you.Not use the Drawing or Share Screen applications unless asked.Be aware that the teacher or administrator can see anything you write in the Chat feature.Refrain from multitasking – give each teacher’s meeting your full attention.Failure to follow these guidelines will result is you being removed from that Zoom meeting and possible disciplinary measures. NETIQUETTE AND GUIDELINES When posting on the Discussion Board (Edmodo) in your online class, you should: Make posts that are on topic and within the scope of the course material. Take your posts seriously and review and edit your posts before sending.Be as brief as possible while still making a thorough comment. Always give proper credit when referencing or quoting another source.Be sure to read all messages in a thread before replying. Don’t repeat someone else’s post without adding something of your own to it. Avoid short, generic replies such as, “I agree.” You should include why you agree or add to the previous point. Always be respectful of others’ opinions even when they differ from your own. When you disagree with someone, you should express your differing opinion in a respectful, non-critical way. Do not make personal or insulting remarks.Be open-minded.EMAIL NETIQUETTE When you send an email to your instructor, administrator, or classmates, you should: Use a descriptive subject line. Be brief. Avoid HTML in favor of plain text. Sign your message with your name. Think before you send the e-mail to more than one person. Does everyone really need to see your message? Be sure you REALLY want everyone to receive your response when you click, “reply all.” Be sure that the message author intended for the information to be passed along before you click the “forward” button. SECURITYRemember that your password is the only thing protecting you from pranks or more serious harm. Write them down!! Don't share your password with anyone.Change your password if you think someone else might know it.Always log out when you are finished using the system.???? ................
