GRAND

How to have a "GRAND" time online! Netiquette is etiquette used in online communication. In order to have a successful online experience you need to understand and follow these guidelines.

G - Golden Rule - "Treat others as you wish to be treated." "If you don't have something nice to stay, don't say anything at all." R - Remember the Human - When we communicate face to face (f2f) we use body language and visual clues to alter conversations. You cannot do that online. Type what you mean to say! A - Academic Language - This is an educational discussion, not a personal IM conversation. Use proper grammar and sentence structure while posting. N - No Typing in all caps - that is considered YELLING online D - Don't Flame. Don't encourage gossip or negative comments or attitudes.

Discussions will be graded following this 10 point rubric:

3 points - Quality of response - your response needs to completely answer the question providing specific details to support your answer 2 points - Peer response - you must respond to two of your classmates answers. Your responses need to extend the discussion by either adding supporting details or asking a question to enrich the discussion 5 points - GRAND - following the netiquette GRAND rules
