Remember that what is on the Web is public and portable: It can be copied, pasted, and sent to other students, teachers, and individuals outside your school. As a rule, write only comments that you wouldn’t mind sharing with the instructor or the rest of the class. Keep class communication within the course itself. Do not forward another person’s message without asking his or her consent. In addition, be respectful and do not copy and paste anyone else’s comments to other forms of media, such as Facebook, Twitter, or text messages.
