= Essential Question: How do we communicate online? =

Networking Guidelines
1. Only post things that you would want everyone (in school, at home, in other countries) to know. // Ask yourself: Is this something I want everyone to see? //

2. Do not share personal information. // Ask yourself: Could someone find me (in real life) based on this information? //

3. Think before you post. // Ask yourself: What could be the consequences of this post? //

4. Know who you’re communicating with. // Ask yourself: Who is going to look at this, and how are they going to interpret my words? //

5. Consider your audience and that you’re representing Geneva Schools // Ask yourself: Do I have a good reason/purpose to do this? //

6. Know how to give constructive feedback. // Ask yourself: What will I cause by writing this post? //

7. Treat other people the way you want to be treated. // Ask yourself: Would I want someone to say this to me? //

8. Use appropriate language and proper grammar and spelling. // Ask yourself: Would I want this post to be graded for proper grammar and spelling? //

9. Only post information that you can verify is true (no gossiping). // Ask yourself: Is this inappropriate, immature or bullying? //

10. Anytime you use media from another source, be sure to properly cite the creator of the original work. // Ask yourself: Who is the original creator of this work? //
