Internet Ethics

sevgibayram84 — 2023-11-23 20:14:27 UTC

eTwinners must conduct their online interactions professionally, courteously, and with the same respect as their real-life interactions. Below are some examples of what users should and should not do.

1. Use the internal messaging system carefully and responsibly.
Avoid sending too many messages to teachers you don't work with. Before contacting a user: check their profile; See if it indicates that it is suitable for doing a project; Make sure your message is relevant. Don't send exactly the same messages to too many users.

2. Avoid spamming forums.

Thousands of messages are sent from forums in the European School Education Platform Networking area. Make sure your message is relevant to the subject of the title. Before publishing a new post, check if there are any other relevant messages and reply to them. To foster collaboration, help us keep the forums relevant!

3. Only post comments that are relevant and appropriate to other users' posts.

When posting a comment on someone else's profile, make sure that the comment is appropriate for the user. Comments must be for individuals and relate to the user's message. Do not write the same comment to too many users.

4. Avoid sending random contact requests and project invitations.

Avoid asking eTwinners to be your contact or participate in your project without prior communication. Make sure you have a reasonable and manageable number of contacts on your list. Want to follow others' updates? Follow them instead.

5. Make invitations to the rooms according to the target audience.
Avoid inviting your contacts to Rooms you manage unless you're sure those colleagues can attend. Random invitations to rooms are considered spam.

In the first stage, students' parents are informed about the project; It is necessary to provide information about the project content, activities and what information about the students will be shared on the portal, and to obtain a PARENT PERMISSION CERTIFICATE. Even if approval has been received from parents for student participation, visuals that will identify students should not be used in public areas. For this reason, care should be taken when sharing in areas such as the project diary, which is a public area of TwinSpace. When uploading videos in which students are recognizable to video platforms such as YouTube, care should be taken to ensure that the link is not public. If the images need to be shared publicly, materials that do not focus on the students' faces, such as from the side or from behind, and where the activities are more prominent, can be used.

To do an eTwinning project you need to register for eTwinning. All teachers and administrators working in both public and private schools, from kindergarten to the end of secondary education, can register to eTwinning. You can pre-register on the eTwinning|ESEP platform. You must then click on the link sent to the e-mail address you provided during pre-registration and complete your password and registration process. During registration you will be asked to enter your school information and eTwinning preferences.

NOTE: During registration, some of our teachers re-register their school names even though their school names are registered in the system. This situation leads to a difficult process and confusion in the system. Please add a new school after making sure that your school is not registered. If there is a teacher registered in Esepe in your school, you can ask him for the ID of the school or you can ask your provincial coordinator if the school is registered or what is its ID. You should also register with the email address you have previously registered on the etwinning.net platform (More It is important for the continuity of the projects you have done before.
