and ethical practices in the use of technology tools
and resources;

educational purposes only. Please be reminded that
these are government funded instructional devices from
everyone's taxes. Personal use is unethical.

Schools are mandated to be the custodian of school
properties including it's resources to make sure that
these will last and the school community will be
benefited.
 Take care of school's technology equipment. Make sure you
are familiar with the technology equipment before using. Ask
the assistance of school staff as deemed necessary for the
appropriate use of the equipment.

provide instructional learning management system(LMS) and
recommended website for possible digital needs and
resources. Refrain from visiting and exploring websites which
promote inappropriate and inaccurate contents.

unethical and a subject for legal sanction. Downloading
videos, images, and graphical designs which are available
in the internet are improper unless properly identified and

communities or internet in general.

sharing information and knowledge with other.

NETIQUETTE
GUIDELINES
1. Be friendly, positive and self-reflective. When people cannot
see you, and also do not know you, feelings can be hurt if you are
not careful in how you express yourself.
2. Use proper language and titles. Do not use slang or even
profane words in an online environment, even if they are words
you consider "not so bad" as they will sound offensive to the
readers.

3. Use effective communication. This takes practice and

thoughtful writing. Try to speak and write clearly at all times.
Again, reread before respond.
4. Professionalism. Learn the characters like smiley faces, and
instant message abbreviation out.

5. Ask for clarification. If you are unsure of what was said , or

the instructor's directive, or are trying to interpret a person's
expression, then ask again.
