Technology Code of Conduct

I am careful

  • I interact with people I know in ways I am proud of. 
  • I keep my passwords, personal info, contact info, and location to myself. I don’t share this information about other people.

I am considerate of people’s feelings

  • I am responsible for what I post and say online. My posts and comments are interesting, respectful, appropriate, and truthful; I never allow the internet to be a weapon to hurt others.
  • I only post images that are unaltered and I ask before taking photos or sharing anything from or about another person.
  • I am respectful of other people’s lives and their privacy; I am patient and respectful in group chats and on message boards.
  • I don’t let my tech disturb other people: I turn off notifications, sounds and alerts; I mute my devices to respect the people I am with.
  • I am respectful of how much time I spend on devices. I turn off my devices and leave them in another room when it is time to sleep. I don’t send messages late at night or expect people to answer me immediately.
  • When spending time with family, I don’t use my devices and I am present.

I use technology to show my best self

  • I use my own words, work, or photos and give credit when necessary.
  • I control how much time I spend online and on different screens.

I use technology to make my life better
and am careful not to let it come between me and others.
