Task 5: Netiquette

Since we were little, we have all heard our parents tell us to "mind our manners". We're told to say please, thank you, and even hold doors for people to show that we have respect for them and their opinions.
Believe it or not, this same kind of idea holds true for the Internet. There is something called "Netiquette" which all online users must be familiar with to participate successfully in an online environment.

In this week's Techy Tuesday, you will research different ideas about online etiquette by visiting the following links and watching some of the videos listed below.

Some Netiquette MUSTS for email usage!
When writing an email you should...
1. Always have a formal greeting and closing
2. Always sign your name
3. Spell out all words. Do not use online lingo (b4, thanx, etc)
4. Make your requests clear

Your task for this week is to write an e-mail using proper online etiquette to your teacher explaining three of the most important Netiquette ideas you've come across this week. Be sure to refer to the websites/videos you got your ideas from in your email.

  1. Nice blog post. I like your netiquette analogy. Since we were little our parents have told us to mind our manners. Now it's time for parents to say mind your netiquette. Great post.
