RULES+OF+DECORUM

RULES OF DECORUMThank you Mrs. Fisher for these standards.

By becoming a member of this wiki, you are, in essence, an ambassador for your school in an online community. With that in mind, we must agree to some basic ground rules. First and foremost, let me remind you that you are guided by the Computer Usage policy which you signed in the beginning of the school year. By signing that policy, you agreed to “take responsibility for all activities on [your computer] account.” I ask that you conduct yourself according to the following rules of decorum in order to enjoy this creative, collaborative experience.

HOWEVER, IN THE SPIRIT OF TRUE COLLABORATION, I ASK THAT YOU MAKE ANY EDITS/SUGGESTIONS TO THE RULES OF DECORUM THAT WOULD STRENGTHEN THEM.

1. Rules of the classroom apply to the Wiki. 2. Wiki unto others… 3. Be original.
 * Respect each other, the content, and the teacher.
 * Observe appropriate group discussion etiquette.
 * Refrain from foul or abusive language.
 * Do not engage in inappropriate conduct, such as flaming (demeaning the contribution of other members).
 * Avoid posting in all uppercase letters, as this constitutes yelling.
 * Be open to differences.
 * Take every precaution not to plagiarize.
 * Respect the opinions of others; after all, this is a forum for intellectual growth!
 * Have fun—learning, sharing, and collaborating!

4. Resist including personal, identifying material on the wiki—no addresses, full names, school name and so on. 5. Report inappropriate behavior to me immediately! Any infraction will result in the cancellation of your membership to the Wiki.
