Wiki+Rules

You should each have a Wiki Rules page where you give clear guidelines to students and parents on how the wiki should be used. Below are my rules for this wiki and some resources and examples you may want to refer to when creating your own rules.

Rules for Wiki
Since Wikis are collaborative spaces we need to establish some basic rules and guidelines for everyone to follow. You will want to create a set of rules for your wiki.
 * 1) This site is an extension of school so all school and classroom rules apply.
 * 2) Do not change others' posts without permission.
 * 3) Avoid hurting someone's feelings.
 * 4) Keep your posts appropriate and relevant to the topic.
 * 5) Please use proper spelling and grammar.

-**Etiquette**: [] Even though this says that the rules are for email they can be used for editing and commenting on other people's information on a wiki:

- **Wiki Rules from Hawaii** - here are 10 rules a teacher in Hawaii is using for his/her wiki. []

- **These are the rules for a 5th grade wiki website**. I really like the rule about only posting things your grandma would read. I thought this was a great example. []

**- Report Behavior That Breaches These Rules:** We need everyone's help to keep the Oracle Wiki shiny and clean! []

 * - Wikis in Wikipedia**- Wikipedia share what is a wiki and some helpful concepts

Working on this site is a privilege. To be allowed this privilege you must agree to abide by the following rules.
 * 1) Understand that this site is an extension of school. All school rules apply, even if you come to this site when you are not at school.
 * 2) You must always log in using your own first name. Never use an alias.

**Understand that the administrators of this site have means of reverting edits AND of tracing where specific edits came from. Don't risk being suspended or removed from the class for the sake of a practical joke.** **[]**

Wiki Rules (or Wikis Rule!)

 * Using a wiki requires that we follow online etiquette.**

//Please be sure to follow these simple rules so that everyone has a great experience:// []
 * Respect what others have written on the wiki.
 * You can either add to what others have written, make revisions or begin something new on the wiki.
 * Use correct spelling and grammar on the wiki. Remember what goes up on the wiki, goes up for the world to see. This is published writing, not draft.
 * Use appropriate language. Do not use any language that could be interpreted as mean to others.
 * Any factual information must be accurate.
 * Please remember to give credit to and cite your sources. Failure to do so is plagiarism.

Wiki Rules


 * RULES** - The EnviroNet Network would like to ensure that our wiki contains appropriate information. To help ensure this we have established the following rules:
 * 1) no draft documents to be uploaded to the wiki, only post information that has been finalised
 * 2) the wiki will be publicly available for viewing, but only Members will have access rights to edit the material
 * 3) no sensitive material is to be published on the wiki, common sense prevails in this case.
