  1. Netiquette Guidelines Manners Online Are Important!

  2. What’s the Big Deal About Netiquette? • Netiquette, or online manners, is important! Netiquette just means “good behavior” when using the internet. We all enjoy internet use more when e-mail and text messages do not include actions which irritate, harass or expose us to viruses.

  3. The Golden Rule • Online, as well as in real life, please treat others as you would like to be treated yourself! This leads to a happy online experience at both ends.

  4. Forwarding E-mails • When you receive an e-mail which says to send it to everyone,….please don’t. • Do not forward jokes, chain letters, or unimportant e-mails without the receiver’s permission. • Do not forward virus warnings. They are generally hoaxes and some are actually virus carriers. • Forwarded e-mails are often unwelcome. They clog inboxes and may expose others to viruses.

  5. ALL CAPS, etc. • Do not send messages in ALL CAPS. This is like shouting at someone online. • Do not leave the subject line blank in e-mails. People want to know what it’s about. • Ask before you send huge attachments.

  6. Respect Other People’s Privacy • Never forward other people’s e-mails without their permission. • However, when sending your own e-mails, do not assume that something sent on the internet is private. You can not control what other people do with your e-mail.

  7. Always Proofread first • Check and correct all e-mails before you click send. • Be forgiving of other people’s mistakes online. • Keep your e-mails short and to the point.

  8. Nasty E-mails • When you receive a nasty text or e-mail Do Not Respond. Doing so may just escalate the situation. • If this continues block the person and tell a trusted adult about the problem.

  9. In Conclusion • Think before you text or e-mail! • Does this e-mail consider the recipient’s wishes and feelings? • Does it respect their privacy and time? • Is this e-mail something I want kept private? • Could this e-mail be the carrier of a virus?
