Chat Box Guidelines

1. Private chatting, instant messaging, and e-mailing between students IS NOT allowed during class. Talk to your friends after class. You can talk to your friends anytime outside. You only have me for 90 minutes. I expect your complete attention. I give lots of hints during class. You need to be listening.

2. You must sign into class using your proper class log-in name. You earn participation points in my class. Your participation points are assigned to your school log-in name only. Participation points are bonus points which help your grade.

3. Please do not use “Smiley” faces in my chat box. They take up room. Our chat box is small and I need to be able to see as much of it as possible.

4. Type a “?” in the chat box if you have a question. As soon as you type your question mark, begin typing your question. Wait until I call on you to hit the “Enter” key.

5. Type a “?m” if you want to ask a question on microphone. If your question is LONG, this is a great option to save your fingers.

6. Type a “!” in the chat box if you want to answer one of my questions. Doing so means you are raising your hand and want to answer.

7. Type a “!m” if you want to answer a question on microphone. Save this option for LONG answers.

8. Type a “Y” for “Yes” and “N” for “No”
