Netiquette

After today’s brainstorm in class about netiquette, lists of guidelines or rules popped up. Here is a summary.

• Don’t “touch” things you don’t know what is – use safe websites.
• Be critical to information you find on the Internet - use trusted sources.
• Don’t give personal information to strangers.
• Don’t bully online….or anywhere else.
• Be positive when you give comments to other people, or when you write about someone else.
• Use “free to copy” (Creative Commons license) pictures, texts or music, or ask the owners first, when you want to post something on your website or blog.
• Don’t be a hacker or create viruses to hurt other people
• Think twice about what you’re going to post on Internet. Don’t post stuff you might regret.
• If you’re going to meet someone you have only met on Internet, you should bring someone with you.
• Be careful with clicking on ads, they might be viruses or you might even be hacked.

A lot of good advices, don’t you think?
