Let's discuss ground rules for our community. Here's a starting place. Feel free to revise rules or add new ones. Also, sign your edits with your name and location! ~ Dennis@sd

Avoid flaming in posts.

Be respectful of one another's ideas and opinions.

Be concise and straight to the point.

Keep it lively, respectful, and simple.

Pay attention to what has heart and meaning.

Agree to disagree (if it has to be personal, communicate personally).

Respect other people's time and schedules.

Always do what you should do.

Smile and laugh at things: take the stress out.

Details are critical.

Encourage one another.

Read each other's posts.

Don't suffer in silence. Ask for help.

Email Dennis or Sara if you need flex on assignments.

Work to be a sincere active participant.

Have an open mind and a good sense of humor.

When working in a small group, be timely with your response to an activity request.

Openness to sharing goes a long way in any group learning experience.

Politeness really does matter.

Be a sincere active participant.

Re: Humor, use symbols like a smiley face to let people know that we are just joking.

Include our locations by our names would help us keep in mind where each person is located and where they might be coming from, culturally and emotionally.

Speak from your own experience instead of generalizing ("I" instead of "they," "we," and "you").* //Thank you once again Paul Gorski//
