Expected time to complete reading and the written assignment: 15 - 30 minutes

As we move ahead, Digital Etiquette and Student Permission and Agreement Guidelines are very important!



Your assignment for this segment is consider how you will encourage your participants to use good digital etiquette. In addition, if you are using cell phones with your participants (especially children), what guidelines will you share with them?

** Digital Etiquette: **

Please add how you will encourage good digital etiquette:
 * (Example) - I am involved with RCIA candidates. As I begin prayer, I invite the candidates to have their cell phones at hand, as they will be invited during prayer to "text a friend" or I may have another team member "text a Scripture Phrase" that is part of our prayer service. After they have used their phone, I simply remind them to put their phone on a quiet mode, so that we will not be disturbed with calls during our session. (Your Name)
 * ====While in my diocese there is not widespread use of mobile phones in classes, students are some times allowed to use their phones to research topics and facts in some instances. We ask that phones are always on silent and that persons only use their phones when directed to do so. It is clearly stated that if you are caught using the phone without permission or outside of an emergency there is a first warning. After that the phone is confiscated till the end of the session.
