All children need to learn proper netiquette and respecting people's privacy. It is especially important to teach this to young children who still don't fully understand the possible consequences of over sharing on social media. The most helpful could be short activities that teach and or demonstrate what consequences are and how we can predict them or steer away from them. This will improve their skills so when if comes time for them to be on social media, they will have the ability to think ahead and anticipate possible outcomes and who could possibly be affected.

Netiquette # 4: If you don't want people to see it, then don't share it online

How you act, dress, and the activities you partake in are up to you. You are also the person who gets to decide what goes on social media. If it is something you do not want some people to see, then do not share it at all. One way or another it will spread for anyone to see. So be mindful of what you share because once it is out there, there is no going back. You also don't know who will see it. Can your post hurt someone else? Or  can your post be intrusive and uncomfortable?

It is extremely important to always change your privacy settings to protect yourself. Protecting yourself is the number one priority. The second priority is to protect your family and friends. Respect their privacy by getting their permission to post a picture, comment, or tagging them in something on social media. when you tag someone in something that changes who can now see it.  so be aware of what you post and who is involved.

Netiquette is all about having manners but on the internet. When being online, there are general rules that everyone should follow in order to provide a safe and welcoming environment. While being online, everyone should respect others as well as respect themselves. Some may think that by hiding behind a screen gives them the right to say or do whatever they please. Netiquette is knowing what not to say and do online. Being safe and respectful online is important because of it still a way of presenting yourself. To be taken seriously and to gain respect from others, you should act in a responsible and formal manner online.

It is as simple and the way you type. While being online, being formal is something that should still be accounted for. You should still full sentences, spells things right and use proper grammar. Somethings will stay on the internet forever, students should know this because what they say or do earlier in their life can possibly impact them later on in life. As a teacher, being formal, safe, responsible and appropriate online is a major requirement. To be taken seriously in this profession and to be trusted with someone else’s child, I have to act in the right manner, not only in my every day but also online.

In order to teach students about controlling flame wars, I think a good way to get them to understand in through acting out and scenarios. This might work for older students in 4th and 5th grade. Students will be informed on what flame wars are and will be provided with examples of a flame war online.

Example:

Maria and Sarah are in heated disagreement about a popular boy group. Maria loves their music and thinks they are very talented. On the other had Sarah dislikes their music and talks bad about the group and people who are fans of the group. Sarah tells Maria that she is stupid and immature for liking such a group. Maria and Sarah continue insulting each other on twitter.

After explaining the situation to the class, I would ask them how they think Maria and Sarah both felt. Also, how do they think both girls should have presented their opinions in a respectful manner. Once we are done discussing, the class will be split into groups where they create their own scenario. They have to act out a flame war, and then show the class how to fix the situation.

Making yourself presentable online is something everyone should do. You should want to show the world that you know what you are talking about. Making yourself look good means that you are using proper grammar, using correct spelling, and you know what you are talking no matter what the topic is, especially if you are trying to express your views. Also, making yourself look good online means being appropriate, formal and respectable. Swearing all over the internet does not make you look like a good person and people may not take you seriously.

This is an important rule for my students to know because once they start going online and using common websites and/or apps to connect to others, they should understand that even though they are behind a screen, they should still be smart and responsible. My students should know how to communicate with other people online and in an appropriate manner. They should know how to separate a simple and fun conversation with their friends to a more formal situation online. They should know when to use abbreviations and when to use full sentences. Being formal online is a safe way to play because you never what information can get out and you do not want someone of higher authority seeing you be inappropriate or seeing your unintelligent comments.

Netiquette #1: How to keep the flame wars under control 

# data[].attributes.body
Flame wars are used to allow people to express their emotions and opinions online. However, things can start to get out of hand and cause serious issues online. People cannot tell what your tone is behind a screen, so the way you write and how your word things are an important factor to keep in mind when trying to express your opinions. Also, people run into issues when they do not know how to respect someone else’s opinion. To keep flame wars under control, you should have an open mind when sharing your thoughts and ideas to the entire world. You have to be okay with people not agreeing with you and you should know how to speak to someone who has different views than you do.  You are free to say how you feel, but while doing so, you should not target other people, you should not use inappropriate words, and you should not let it become bullying.

I chose this tip because I think students, especially as they get older, are very opinionated and they should know how to voice their opinions in a respectable manner. They should also know how to detect a flame war happening and know that being an instigator does not help the situation. By knowing how to share their opinions and being able to detect when a flame war has turned into something more serious, it provides for a more fun, safe and responsible environment online.
