Netiquette 101

Scenario #1 – A student sends a harassing e-mail to another student. The receiving student
retaliates with a “flaming e-mail.” Is this the appropriate response? If not, what would be?
No, it is not a appropriate response, the appropriate response was that student should of ignore the e-mail, or show the e-mail to an adult and let them handle the situation.


Scenario #2 – When hanging out with friends, one of the students makes a call on their cellphone and carries on a conversation while still within the group. Is this auk? Why or why not?
No, it is not okay, because it is really rude!


Scenario #3 – A student logs on to a free file sharing website and downloads a song they just heard on the radio. Is this auk? Why or why not?
No, it is not okay, because if you download and distribute copyrighted music, videos, games or other material over the internet without proper payment and permission, you are stealing.

Scenario #4 – A student follows a questionable link to a website and downloads a malicious script which releases a Trojan Horse virus on to the school network. Is the student to blame? Why or why not?
Yes, the student is to blame, because they shouldn't have downloaded it in the first place.


Scenario #5 – An hour before class, a student remembers that a writing assignment is due. The student goes to the library, logs on to a website, and copies/pastes the information. Is this auk? Why or why not?
No, it is not okay, because it is plagiarism.


Scenario #6 – At home, a student uses a software package to copy movies and games from DVD’s for his or her friends. Is this within fair-use laws? Explain.
No, it is not within fair-use law, because that is illegal!


Scenario #7 – A student logs into the school website to download the syllabus they lost. Are they breaking any rules or laws? Explain.
No, they are not breaking the rules, because its on a school website, and they have permission to download it.


Scenario #8 – Students spend a good amount of time in class creating a web page for a school sponsored fundraiser. However, there website is not usable by certain individuals with disabilities. Was this disrespectful or wrong of them?
It was disrespectful, because the disabilities can't use it.


Why do you think netiquette is important? Why are we suing part of our class time for this?
To teach us about what is right and wrong about using the computer, or online.
