Welcome to the Pythaverse Community! We are thrilled to have you here. This is a global, professional network for educators dedicated to learning, sharing, and collaborating to shape the future of education. Our goal is to create a supportive, inspiring, and safe environment for every member.
To ensure our community remains a valuable and trusted space, we ask that you agree to and uphold the following guidelines.
Our Guiding Principles: The “GROW” Mindset #
Our community is built on the same principles as our “GROW” framework: we are here to Gather ideas, Reflect on our practice, Operate with new skills, and Widen our collective impact. Every interaction should contribute to this positive cycle.
The Core Rules: How We Collaborate #
- Be Respectful and Constructive.
This is our most important rule. Treat everyone with professional courtesy. Healthy debate is encouraged, but it must be focused on ideas, not individuals. Assume good intent, offer constructive feedback, and always communicate with respect, even when you disagree. - Share Generously and Credit Others.
This community thrives on the sharing of knowledge, resources, and experiences. We encourage you to share your successes, your challenges, and the tools you find useful. When sharing work or ideas that are not your own, please give credit to the original source. Respect intellectual property and copyright. - Stay On Topic and Add Value.
Help keep conversations focused and productive by posting in the relevant topic areas (e.g., #AIinHistory, #ProjectBasedLearning). Before posting, consider if your contribution adds value to the ongoing discussion. This helps everyone find the information they need more easily. - Keep it Professional.
This is a network for educators. Please refrain from posting content that is overly personal, unrelated to the field of education, or would be inappropriate in a professional setting.
Strict Prohibitions: What is Not Allowed #
To protect the safety and integrity of our community, the following are strictly forbidden. Violating these rules will result in immediate content removal and potential account action.
- No Harassment, Bullying, or Hate Speech.
Personal attacks, insults, intimidation, and discriminatory language of any kind (related to race, ethnicity, religion, gender, sexual orientation, disability, etc.) will not be tolerated. - No Spam or Excessive Self-Promotion.
Sharing a useful resource from your blog is welcome; repeatedly posting unsolicited links to commercial products or services is not. All promotional content must be relevant, non-repetitive, and add clear value to the community. - No Plagiarism or Intellectual Property Theft.
Do not post content that you do not own the rights to. Always credit your sources. - No Illegal or Harmful Content.
Do not post content that is sexually explicit, graphically violent, promotes illegal acts, or contains dangerous misinformation. - No Sharing of Private Information.
For your own safety and the privacy of others, do not share private contact information (like phone numbers, email addresses, or home addresses) in public posts.
How We Uphold These Guidelines #
- Your Role: Reporting. Every member is a steward of the community. If you see a post or comment that violates these guidelines, please use the “Report” feature. This is the fastest way to bring it to the attention of our moderation team.
- Our Role: Moderation. The Pythaverse team actively moderates the community. We review all user reports and take action based on these guidelines.
- Consequences. Our goal is to educate, but we will act to protect the community. Actions for violating guidelines may include:
- A friendly warning.
- Content removal.
- A temporary suspension of posting privileges.
- A permanent removal (ban) from the Pythaverse community for severe or repeat offenses.
Thank you for being a part of the Pythaverse Community. By working together, we can create an invaluable resource that empowers educators around the world.
Sincerely,
The Pythaverse Team
