Year 7 students have helped me develop a code of conduct when using online chat.

Code of conduct when using online Chat

1. Greet people with an appropriate introduction, showing respect at all times.
2. Always use full English ie no IM or txt language. This is a professional site and translators cannot translate IM.
3. Logon with an appropriate username that does not reveal your identity. Keep that user name for the entire session.
4. No spamming eg zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
5. Use appropriate language at all times – no swearing, slang, words of dubious nature or double meanings.
6. No cyberbullying or put-downs etc
7. Be sensitive to people from other cultures who may be present.
8. Never reveal any personal information eg phone numbers, addressess etc
9. Avoid using CAPS, as it means you are shouting!
10. If in doubt, just don’t do it!
