Just like having good etiquette or manners at the dinner table (or anywhere else for that matter!) there are a set of rules when working online that one needs to adhere to. Internet etiquette or "netiquette" as it can be called is a set of rules for behaving appropriately online.

Go to the Cyberbullying and Internet Safety tabs to learn more about the rules of Netiquette concerning those topics.
