7. Netiquette Guidelines 8

8. 1. Protect your reputation. 9 2 . Respect others. Whether in real or in virtual world, you are the same person. Do only what is appropriate and share information that does not harm you as a person. Respect begets respect. Treat everyone with respect even if you have not seen him/her in person. Be judicious about what you say on your own and other's pages.

9. 3. Express yourself clearly and use emoticons. 10 4. Remember the intellectual property. Communication online is difficult because emotions are not evident during communication. Miscommunication usually takes place because your facial expression and your body language cannot be seen and the tone of your voice cannot be heard. Thus, emoticon are readily available to show your emotions. Ideas online are products of intelligence of others. If you need to cite then, acknowledge the authors. You definitely do not want to steal properties of others.

10. 5. Check spelling, grammar, and punctuations. 11 6. Pause before you post. Since your face cannot be seen online, you will be judged according to your posts. Good writing means good manners. We do not want to waste other people's time reading our post which is incomprehensible. Take note that whatever you post becomes permanent therefore think twice or thrice before you click send..

11. 7. Do not share your personal information. 12 8. Think about who or what you are representing. Sharing your personal information online is like going around the streets wearing a shirt printed with your name, birthday, address, name of parents, etc. You definitely do not want to reveal all these to many people. Besides, providing all these publicly will make you prone to identity theft. As a son/daughter, you represent your family. As a student, you represent your school. You do not want your family or school to be put to shame by what you do.
