=STUDENT CONTRACT AND GUIDELINES FOR ONLINE COMMUNICATION AND COLLABORATION=

We expect all participants to follow the guidelines listed below. In order to ensure the respect and safety for all participants, we will __remove__ users from the wiki when these guidelines are not being followed. Students will be monitored throughout the use of Wikispaces.

In order to ensure student protection and safety on the Internet and the respect of everyone involved, we ask that you follow the guidelines for appropriate and safe internet behavior listed below.

USER NAMES You will be issued a user name by Mrs. Calise in order to join the Library Sandbox wiki. User names need to follow specific guidelines and must not be changed by students.

PASSWORDS • Passwords are for your use only! Passwords are not to be shared with ANYONE inside or outside the school. • If you think your password may have become public for any reason, see Mrs. Calise immediately to have you password changed. • Sign out of Wikispaces before leaving your computer. • Do not let anyone else type on Wikispaces under your name.

WRITTEN COMMUNICATION • Check your wiki mail daily for communication from Mrs. Calise. • Use the discussion tabs following each book page for discussion concerning the topic. • Be respectful at all times! • Be inclusive in your conversations and replies. • Use appropriate language. • Disagree with the __idea__,not the person. • When retelling an experience, say "I know someone who..." rather than using someone's name. • Do not use "put-downs", call names, "yell" (using all capitals), or use terms such as "duh" in your responses. • Disagree respectfully. • Re-read responses for meaning before posting. • Edit spelling and grammar before posting. • Think before you reply! Submitted work will be considered published and become public.

EMAIL The email section of the wiki is not where you should be communicating to other students. Email should only be used if you have a question for Mrs. Calise that you need answered, or when you have important information that needs to be shared with all members of the site.
