Best Practices for Student Email
Be a Smart Writer
Make a Good Impression with your ePal
Proofread (revise and edit) before sending
Let your personality shine through your words
Use powerful words
Ask questions to encourage more conversation
Follow Class Rules when Communicating
Stay on task
Use your words to show respect and compassion
Use Appropriate Language
No bullying—teasing
No gossiping—talking about others
No naughty words
No “texting” language – email is more formal than texting
Internet Safety
Don’t give personal information such as your last name, address, or phone number
Only communicate using your ePals account - don’t use other e-mail accounts
