Netiquette

What is it?

Is it important?

Should we follow it?

Too many questions for some…..and for few, they don’t even realize the importance of being safe online. To throw some lights on this topic, the students of grade 6 did a small presentation during their assembly,“ICT Assembly”. Yes, as we follow certain etiquettes at home, school, in public places, in the same way, we need to follow it even while using internet, it is called “Netiquette” i.e. internet netiquettes.

• Spell Check - Spell check the information, as errors diminish the credibility of the message.
•  No All Caps - Typing in all capitals indicates you are SHOUTING to your audience and it is not polite.

Not only this,  Suhrid from Grade VI, even wrote a song, which was sung during the assembly.
