Online Discussion Boards (Assignment #3)

1. A lot of these are similar to face to face conversations because talking on the internet is the same as talking in person. In person, we don't want to sound rude when we're talking to people so we talk politely and the same goes for talking on the internet because you're still talking to someone on the other end.
2.Four guidelines that I feel are very important when interacting with other people online are;

• Not using capital letters all the time because it can seem as if you are yelling at them and it may hurt their feelings
• Always remember to say please and thank you because if you don't, they may think it's rude and think you have something against them
• If you tell someone their stupid in person or on the internet, the other person will always take offence to it because it'll be taken personally
• Always be forgiving because it doesn't feel nice to be hated or to have something against someone else so its nice to just move on and forgive the person for whatever they did wrong

3. I have never made a comment on a discussion board
4. I think I would enjoy a course where you would discuss issues online with other people because I like talking and voicing my opinion.
