Polite communication for texting would be not using sarcasm unless you know they will understand it to prevent misunderstandings. You don't need to introduce yourself like you do for an email. Don't send something that you wouldn't want other people to see, because you can't remove it.

Veronica Cargay, Annelise Mahr, Kimberly Rosas, Andrew Peters, Beth Payne


Instagram, snapchat, photo sharing with commenting

It's rude when people open your snapchat and don't reply. It's rude to comment mean things on photos or post anything mean. Don't post or send any inapropriate pictures. Don't have stories that are over 100 seconds. Don't screenshot ugly pictures of people and post them on internet. Cyber bullying is rude.

It's polite to respond when people snapchat you. It's nice to like peoples photos.

When sending or posting a picture to a friend you can make it a silly snapchat or photo.

Email

Robert Kramer, Alejandra Perez, Haley Hollis, Karina Mendoza, Esme Luevano, Francisco Nuñez

Saying hello, introducing yourself are polite behaviors for emails. Informal to friends and family and formal to teachers.
No cursing, blackmailing, inappropriate emails or pretending you're someone else.

Polite behavior for face to face would be eye contact, speaking clearly, nodding/show your listening. It is rude to be on your phone, not pay attention, and don't make the conversation all about yourself.

Veronica Cargay, Annelise Mahr, Andrew Peters, Beth Payne, Kimberly Rosas


Text messages

It's rude not to respond or when you ask them what they are doing and they answer but don't ask you what you are doing. One word answers after long paragraphs

Respond or tell them when you have to go, ask questions back keep the convo going.
Polite behavior for email would be correct grammar and spelling. When emailing a friend it is okay to be casual, but while email a teacher you should introduce yourself, be formal and respectful. Rude behavior for this communication would be using sarcasm, or joking, because the person receiving the email cannot tell you are joking.

Instagram, Snapchat, & Photo Sharing with Commenting

It is polite to ask others if they are fine with you posting a picture they are in. It is also polite to thank others who say you could be a professional photographer. You should always comment in a respectful way, remembering that many people can see your comments.

It is rude to post revealing photos or yourself and others. It is also rude to post pictures of people where the photo is not flattering of them. It is rude to not respond to others when they ask a genuine question.
