Digital Etiquette (aka Netiquette):

7 Rules of Digital Etiquette:
adapted from Common Sense Media
1. Context (Setting) is Everything:
Using silly online names with your friends is ok, but use your real name for anything formal: email with coaches, clubs, teachers, etc., posting comments or anything to do with school.
2. Take the High Road:
Chatting, texting and status updates are all "in-the-moment" communication. If things start to get rude or mean, sign-off. No good will come from typing mean things!!
3. Grammar Rules Matter:
Skipping grammar rules among your friends might be ok, but follow all rules of grammar in
formal situations: email with coaches, clubs, teachers, etc., posting comments or anything to
do with school.
4. Keep a Secret:
If you think something might embarrass someone, get them in trouble, compromise their
privacy or cause drama --Keep It To Yourself! or DELETE! Photos, texts and videos can be
posted, copies, forwarded, downloaded and photo shopped quickly, so make good decisions.
5. Screen Names:
Only use screen names to be anonymous among strangers, not to hurt people through your
online actions.
6. Double-Check Before You Hit Send:
Could something you wrote be misinterpreted? Is there too much slang to understand it? Is it
rude, mean or sarcastic? Then don't send it!
7. Remember the Golden Rule:
Don't say anything online that you wouldn't say to someone's face. Discussing issues in person is a much more productive way to solve problems.
