Expectations for Students Using This Wikispace:

Courtesy. When writing your messages, please use the same courtesy that you would show when speaking face-to-face with someone. **Insults and personal attacks will not be tolerated.** It's fine to disagree with opinions, ideas, and facts, but always with respect for the other person.


 * General Behavior.** The discussion forum is expected to be a friendly and welcoming place, and one in which members can post without being questioned by others. Members who post in a manner that makes other members unwelcome or uncomfortable will lose posting privileges.


 * Copyrighted Material & E-mail Content.** Please do NOT post copyrighted material in our forum. Examples of copyrighted material include articles from publications or websites, book excerpts, or any other content which you have not created yourself.


 * Links to Forums, Blogs, Social Network Pages, Photos, Videos, and Personal Sites.** Please do not post links to other discussion forums, blogs, personal sites, or other non-authoritative sources. This includes Facebook, Myspace, and similar sites. Links to places like blogs, personal sites, games, etc., are not allowed. All such links will be removed. Links to photos, videos, wallpapers, etc. cannot be verified as appropriate and should not be posted without the approval of Ms. Pasquale.

(i) post or transmit any unlawful, threatening, abusive, libelous, defamatory, racial, obscene, vulgar, pornographic, profane or indecent information of any kind, including without limitation any transmissions constituting or encouraging conduct that would constitute a criminal offense, give rise to civil liability or otherwise violate any local, state, national or international law; (ii) post or transmit comments containing harassing or offensive language, using sexual references, sexual nicknames, racial slurs or rude or deliberately offensive comments or engage in disruptive activity online, including excessive use of scripts, sound waves, scrolling (repeating the same message over and over), or use viruses, worms or Trojan horses; (iii) impersonate any person or entity or falsely represent yourself (iv) copy another members work or submit another members work under your name
 * Rules & Disclaimers.** It is a condition of your use of Ms. Pasquale’s wiki discussion board that you do not:


 * Personal Information.** When using this message board forum, please be certain that anything you post does not compromise your personal safety. Do not provide your name, phone number, social security number or any other personally identifying information to people you do not know. Do not continue any conversation online that makes you feel uncomfortable. Please report any incidents of harassment or attempts to discover personal information to the moderators.


 * Moderation.** Ms. Pasquale may edit, move, and delete posts at any time.


 * Language.** All posts will be in English only. Be descriptive, specific, and to the point in your postings. This way your opinion and point is clearly understood and referenced. Please avoid excessive abbreviation and "text messaging" shorthand. Posts that do not meet the language guidelines will be deleted.
