etiquette standards and practice in the use of
ICTs as it would relate to their specific
professional tracks
• Use the Internet as a tool for credible research
and information gathering to achieve specific
class objectives and or address situations
NETIQUETTE
In this generation, people are dependent on the Internet.
Like how people socialize face to face, we should always

follow etiquette as it mirrors our personality.
Being on different platforms, we should be aware of our

actions and protect ourselves at the same time. Remember that
once something has been shared online, it cannot be deleted.
.
CORE RULES OF NETIQUETTE
Netiquette, or network etiquette, is concerned with the "proper“ manner of communication in
the online environment. Whenever you communicate in the virtual world, consider the
following "rules," adapted from Virginia Shea's Core Rules of Netiquette.
Rule 1: Rule 2: Rule 3: Rule 4: Respect Rule 5: Make

Remember the Adhere to the same Know where you are in other people's time yourself look good
Human standards of cyberspace and bandwidth online
behavior online that
you follow in real
Life
Rule 6: Share Rule 7: Help Rule 8: Respect Rule 9: Don't
Rule 10: Be
expert keep flame wars other people's privacy abuse your power
forgiving of other
knowledge under control
people's mistakes
Rule 1: Remember the Human
When communicating electronically,
whether through email, instant message,
discussion post, text, or another method,
practice the Golden Rule: Do unto others
as you would have others do unto you.
Remember, your written words are read by
real people, all deserving of respectful
communication. Before you press "send"
or "submit," ask yourself, "Would I be
okay with this if someone else had written
it?"
Rule 2:
Adhere to the same standards
of behavior online that you
follow in real Life
While it can be argued that standards of
behavior may be different in the virtual world,
they certainly should not be lower. You
should do your best to act within the laws and
ethical manners of society whenever you
inhabit "cyberspace.“ Would you behave
rudely to someone face-to-face. On most
occasions, no. Neither should you behave this
way in the virtual world.
Rule 3:
Know where you are in
cyberspace
"Netiquette varies from domain to domain."
(Shea, 1994) Depending on where you are in
the virtual world, the same written
communication can be acceptable in one area,
where it might be considered inappropriate in
another. What you text to a friend may not be
appropriate in an email to a classmate or
colleague. Can you think of another example?
Rule 4:
Respect other people's time
and bandwidth
Electronic communication takes time: time to
read and time in which to respond. Most
people today lead busy lives, just like you do,
and don't have time to read or respond to
frivolous emails or discussion posts. As a
virtual world communicator, it is your
responsibility to make sure that the time spent
reading your words isn't wasted. Make your
written communication meaningful and to the
point, without extraneous text or superfluous
graphics or attachments that may take forever
to download.
Rule 5:
Make yourself look good online
One of the virtual world's best things is the lack of
judgment associated with your physical
appearance, the sound of your voice, or the
clothes you wear (unless you post a video of
yourself singing Karaoke in a clown outfit.) The
quality of your writing will judge you, so keep the
following tips in mind: Always check for spelling
and grammar errors
Know what you're talking about and state it
clearly
Be pleasant and polite
Rule 6: Share
expert knowledge
The Internet offers its users many benefits; one
is the ease in which information can be shared or
accessed, and in fact, this "information sharing“
capability is one of the reasons the Internet was
founded. So, in the spirit of the Internet's
"founding fathers," share what you know! When
you post a question and receive intelligent
answers, share the results with others. Are you
an expert at something? Post resources and
references for your subject matter. You have
recently expanded your knowledge about a
subject that might be of interest to others? Share
that as well.
Rule 7: Help
keep flame wars under control
What is meant by "flaming" and "flame wars?"

"Flaming is what people do when they express a
strongly held opinion without holding back any
emotion." (Shea, 1994). As an example, think of the
kinds of passionate comments you might read on a
sports blog. While "flaming" is not necessarily
forbidden in virtual communication, "flame wars,"
when two or three people exchange angry posts
between one another, must be controlled, or the
camaraderie of the group could be compromised.
Don’t feed the flames; extinguish them by guiding the
discussion back to a more productive direction.
Rule 8:
Respect other people's privacy
Depending on what you are reading in the virtual
world, be it an online class discussion forum,
Facebook page, or an email, you may be exposed
to some private or personal information that needs
to be handled with care. Perhaps someone is
sharing some medical news about a loved one or
discussing a situation at work. What do you think
would happen if this information "got into the
wrong hands?“ Embarrassment? Hurt feelings?
Loss of a job? Just as you expect others to respect
your privacy, so should you respect the privacy of
others. Be sure to err on the side of caution when
deciding to discuss or not to discuss virtual
communication.
Rule 9:
Don't abuse your power
Like in face-to-face situations, there are people
in cyberspace who have more "power" than
others. They have more expertise in
technology or have years of experience in a
particular skill or subject matter. Maybe it is
you who possesses all this knowledge and
power! Just remember knowing more than
others do or having more power than others
may have does not give you the right to take
advantage of anyone.
Think of Rule 1: Remember the human.
Rule 10:
Be forgiving of other people's
mistakes
Not everyone has the same amount of
experience working in the virtual world. And
not everyone knows the rules of Netiquette. At
some point, you will see a stupid question,
read an unnecessarily long response, or
encounter misspelled words; when this
happens, practice kindness and forgiveness as
you would hope someone would do if you had
committed the same offense. If it's a minor
"offense," you might want to let it slide. If you
feel compelled to respond to a mistake, do so
in a private email rather than a public forum.
