(Computer Applications) Online Dialogue: What is acceptable? (May 15, 2013)

As we discussed earlier this semester, there is an ever increasing amount of ways to communicate using technology. This convince often comes at a cost.

With at least 1-2 other people, create a document in folder 7.2, name the file LASTNAME(S) Online Dialoge Dos and Donts, making a do's and don't rule book for how to communicate on the internet. What is acceptable, what is not?

Elaborate on the points you feel most passionate about. What makes saying certain things wrong, and in certain arenas?

Are there different rules for your friends, parents, etc?

Come up with as many rules as you can today. Keep the mindset of Christian love and consideration as you make your rules today, too.

We will have a class discussion on this point during the next class.
