How Good Are Your Internet Manners?

Plagiarism

Plagiarism is when you copy and paste something, even if its in a different order, and make it look like you are the original owner of that article/ project, even though it is someone else's.

Anything on the internet can be plagiarized like videos, verbal songs, articles, pictures, papers, movies (on YouTube), and many more… So many what many websites have a copyright sign which looks like this : This means that you can’t use this information or materials like the pictures, videos, or content without the owners permission and if you do then that would be against the law. You could be fired, if it’s a job. If it’s a project, you could be suspended from school or receive a failing grade. People who already have a job can get fired, loose their licenses if they are doctors or scientist and may even loose their important reputation.

DO NOT PLAGIARIZE

NETIQUETTEInternet Etiquette

The internet is a accumulation of cables and computers which holds a lot of business, personal, and governmental hardware computers. And a lot of information. The internet is not owned by anyone, the government can’t get access and take control over the internet, so its open to anyone who has a computer

and internet.

The internet occupies one big hyperlink that “ links” to many other pages of information its like some PowerPoint's

that you can make games and stuff through hyperlinking. But you link to HTML pages with free software’s, of the web

browsers.

Paul Gil: What is the Internet?

There are 3 Netiquette basics:

Netiquette of Confidentiality:

Netiquette of Sending:

Netiquette of Replying

Internet Etiquette

By The netiquette of confidentiality we mean to publish private information put the

internet or sent to you: like any emails, phone numbers, business information put on emails,

checks, job payments, copying and pasting emails to other websites. Things that are of value and

that are private.

Forwarding things that are not read is very dangerous, some can be sent by family and

trusted people, and others could be commercial and tell you to forward to any 50 people and

sometimes they may carry viruses.

Respecting copyright on pages is important. You always need to make sure that you

have double checked the copyright sign on webpages.

Don’t use the picture at all…or just use it and list m the author/publisher if there is no

copyright sign.

One big netiquette is sending: when sending any message make them nice, on point, and short. Its saves time these days for the people who are reading the message and saves time for the person who is writing the message or e-

mail.

Of course write correctly and use spaces, so the person who is reading the mail can actually understand the

message.

When sending be descriptive: like make a short but on-point subject of what the e-mail is about.

Instead of replying back from the email sent, compose a new email so the process will

be more easier and there wont be any confusion.

Avoid forwarding when e-mailing , so limit down the people who want to know

basically the same things, so you put them all-together and you can get those easier and over

with.

Be careful with forwarding because if you got an already forwarded email than its copyrighting

the original email and that is a big mistake many people make so you check the To: and the CC: bars and check where the email has passed

through.

Netiquette Of Replying

You have to be careful with what you write on social networks, like, Facebook, Twitter, MySpace and other things.

If you put letter in ALL CAPS this is a form of shouting.Be careful with pictures that are posted on the internet.

Minor Manners on Websites!

Ethics first of all are rules that are to be followed and codes of conduct.

Like: Netiquette, Copyrighting rules, how you use your digital technology if its video

recorders, cameras, iPhones, iPods, iPads etc.
