think…
What you post now…matters later
Edmodo code of conduct
• I will use posts to discuss school-related content only.
• I will use a respectful tone of voice when posting. All school rules and
consequences related to harassment apply.
• I will use appropriate grammar instead of texting language.
• I will be held accountable to the school’s/district’s Acceptable Use Policy
(AUP) for Internet and computer usage since it is considered an online
classroom environment.
• This includes only creating my single student account and using it
appropriately.

Never copy without giving credit
plagiarism

language and thoughts of another author without
authorization and the representation of that author's
work as one's own, as by not crediting the original
author.

So let’s make a promise to be good digital
citizens now that we know what it means.
“I promise to always THINK
before posting something on
the internet. I never know
who can see it or who will be
hurt by it.”
