Good Manners in Cyberspace Tips for happy emailing
#1 - Say only what you would say to a person’s face. Being online is NOT an excuse to be rude. Remember, your online identity is NOT really a secret.
#2 – Be clear in your subject and message. The more clearly you write your message the first time, the sooner you’ll get the answer you need. Make sure your subject described the content of your message. This makes it easier to find again later.
#3 – Check your spelling No one wants to read a badly spelled message. Especially teachers! Acronyms are OK when writing to friends and family. Teachers need it all spelled out! TTYL TTFN LOL IMO FYI BTW
#4 – Don’t type in UPPERCASE letters. It’s like SHOUTING!
#5 – Use smileys so people will understand you better. :-) means you are smiling ;-) means you are making a joke/winking :-( means you are sad More smileys |-O yawning : * kisses :-D laughing :-o surprise :O shocked
#6 – Always be safe Tell an adult if you get an email that worries you (unfriendly, mean, scary, threatening, rude, etc). Delete emails from people you don’t know. Be extremely picky about the people to whom you give your email.
