Code+of+Conduct

=Code of Conduct= = = ===﻿Different forms of technology, such as wiki-spaces and blogs, make learning more interesting and more fun! Each student will have many opportunities to contribute to our class wiki-space and blog throughout the school year. In order to make sure that we all have the best experience possible, the following code of conduct should be followed at all times. If you choose to not act responsibily and honor the code, then your privilidge of using the class wiki-space and blog will be taken away.===


 * 1) Personal Information**: Use only your first name when commenting on the wiki-space or blog. Personal information such as your last name, birthday, address, and phone number should never be posted on the wiki-space or blog.


 * 2) Communicate Clearly**: Always re-read your comments before submitting them to the wiki-space or blog. Check for things like correct grammar, punctuation, and capitalization. No "text talk" please! Also check the tone and message of your comment to make sure it won't be "taken the wrong way" when read by someone else.


 * 3) Be Kind and Respectful**: Words can be encouraging or hurtful. It's OK to disagree with someone's comment or idea, but do so in a kind and respectful way. Think about how you would like to be treated before submitting a comment that //everyone// will be able to read online. Use appropriate language at all times.


 * 4) Follow Directions**: Always follow the teacher's directions for each assignment or activity. Be sure you are doing the right thing at the right place at the right time. If you follow the links that are attached to the wiki-space, you should not be on any un-approved website.


 * 5) Be Smart**: If you come across something on the Internet that is inappropriate or makes you feel uncomfortable in any way, be smart and tell the teacher __immediately__. Do not download anything without asking the teacher first, and do not respond to comments from people you do not know.
