=Internet Safety and Appropriate Use =

While working on the class project, you will need to use the internet. The internet allows us to find a lot of information, but there are some issues you need to keep in mind as you complete your assignment.


 * When making your VoiceThread presentation and commenting on the presentations of other groups, be sure you do not disclose personal information that could be used to identify or impersonate you. Keep your full name, address, phone number, and passwords private.


 * Remember that you need to follow the acceptable use policy of Mt. San Jacinto College while using college resources, such as computer labs and student e-mail accounts. Since your final presentations will be seen in class, the content of your presentation must follow this policy as well.


 * In particular, “...students shall not access Internet sites that contain pornography, gratuitous violence, non-instructional game interaction, or any material that is deemed to be offensive to others and that is not consistent with Mt. San Jacinto College’s Student Code of Conduct and/or the laws of the United States.” (taken from the Mt. San Jacinto College Acceptable Use Policy)


 * Do not use the work of others without giving credit. For example, if you use photos, sounds, or music created by others in your presentation, you MUST give credit to the person who created the work. Check with your instructor if you have any questions about copyright issues such as these.


 * Some groups may choose topics that are controversial. Your presentation is to be factual and should avoid statements made primarily for the purpose of ridiculing or demeaning people who may have a different viewpoint than yours.
