What is netiquette? 

The word netiquette is a contraction of the words Internet and etiquette.  Netiquette is a set of rules that we follow for behaving properly online.

It creates good behavior for youth while on the Net.

When you use netiquette you are setting an example as a positive role model for anyone who is conversing with you. Remember that there is another person on the other end of the conversation. 

Keep your passwords private, even from your best friend! No one should ever ask you for your password.  Use only your Log-in Name and/or e-mail address when chatting or sending e-mail. Never give out personal information like your name, address, or phone number.

Change your password periodically.

 

Never write anything that you would not write on a post card.

Treat other people’s conversation with respect.

Heated messages should not be sent.

Do not give out your address/phone number

Follow the golden rule, “Don’t talk to strangers.”

Don't make the mistake of thinking that you know someone after having "met" him or her online.

Be mindful of what personal information you are posting on you blog.

Do not post anything that you would not want your parents to read.

Log off computer

Personal information is PERSONAL

Never make plans to meet someone you met online

You never know who’s on the other end that you are talking to.
