Digital Etiquette

Digital Etiquette: electronic standards of conduct or procedure.
Technology users often see this area as one of the most pressing problems when dealing with Digital Citizenship. We recognize inappropriate behavior when we see it, but before people use technology they do not learn digital etiquette.

Digital Code of Conduct for education institutes

If a participant engages in harassing behavior, the organizers may take any action they deem appropriate, including warning the offender or expulsion from the DLF Forum or DLF event. If you are being harassed, notice that someone else is being harassed, or have any other concerns, please contact a member of the DLF staff immediately.
Expectations are that equipment for the reception, decoding and interactive processing of digital broadcasting and related services will contribute substantially to the electricity consumption of households in European Community in the near future. Depending on the penetration level, the specifications of the equipment and the requirements of the service provider, a total European consumption of up to 23 TWh per year can be estimated.

Digital Citizenship is having the knowledge, skills and attitudes needed to demonstrate responsible, respectful and safe behaviour when using technology or participating in digital environments.

John Oliver’s Digital Code of Conduct reflects, and is in accordance with, the school’s “J Code”, the district’s policies regarding student conduct, and the province’s BC Human Rights Code.

10 Points of netiquette

1.When typing never write in all capital letters.   That is shouting.  People don’t like it when you shout at them in person.  And they sure don’t like when you shout at them on the net!

2. Don’t plagiarize.  Someone spent a long time coming up with their content.  When you borrow something from someone, give them the credit.  Site their name or their site.  Give the site when you have gotten your information.

3.Use proper quotes and always use the whole quote.  Don’t take quotes out of context and don’t be selective about which part of the quote you want to use.

4.Don’t gossip and keep personal information personal.  Don’t tell stories that you don’t know for a fact to be true.  And often, just because it’s true, doesn’t mean that it needs to be repeated. 

5.Don’t steal those photographs off the web even if they are a perfect fit for what you need.  Chances are they are copyrighted and someone spent a long time putting that together.  Get permission and give credit where credit is due.

6.Watch your language.  No potty mouths.

7. Be patient with internet newbies.  Know that they are just learning like you did once upon a time.

8. No spamming.  Remember that spam is unwanted electronic messages or sending the same electronic message over and over.  This can get you in a lot of trouble on some sites and as a general rule it just irritates everyone else.

9. If you are using a header (such as in an email) make sure your content really pertains to the header.  You must admit it would really stink if the header said something about football, for example, and the email was really about your newest and greatest business idea.   Just stay on topic and the problem is solved.

10. Avoid overuse of emoticons.  You know… those cute little smiley faces.  They really lose their cuteness when overused and tend to irritate people.

We value your attendance.
