Netiquette is defined simply as having good etiquette in cyberspace, and following a few basic rules of good conduct online.
Netiquette is important for our students and ourselves as professionals or in our personal lives because we  all deserve the same respect whether online or in person.

When people communicate online it is sometimes difficult to figure out their tone. When someone tells a joke to their friend, they may not know it is a joke and take it in a mean and hurtful way. This is just another form of miscommunication, however texts and emails can be taken the wrong way more often than miscommunication when physically speaking to someone.

Everyone needs to watch how they word a text or an email. By doing this they will avoid miscommunication with the person receiving the text or email. It is important for everyone to re-read a text or email to make sure that is exactly what they want or mean to say. Always remember the person receiving the text or email cannot see your expression or hear your tone of voice.

Netiquette Tip #2: Respect on a discussion board

# data[].attributes.body
When you are part of a discussion board online, it is important to respect others. No one wants to be made fun of over an opinion or idea. If someone is made fun of on a discussion board it will discourage others to post their opinions. It changes the mood of the discussion board so we want to respect others and give back positive and good feedback.

By respecting others and giving positive feedback, it will ensure that everyone can benefit from the discussion board. Others will be more confident expressing their opinions and ideas with a positive vibe on the discussion board. Even if someone writes about something you do not agree with, express your reasoning as to why you do not agree in a respectful way.

Respect is a very important rule for students to learn on and offline. Students need to learn to have respect for everyone regardless of who they are. It is important for our students to have respect for not only adults but their peers and students younger as well. Teaching students how to show respect is by modeling respect to them.

Whether you are online or engaging in an activity in person, it is important to follow the rules associated with that activity to keep yourself safe. Rules are put in place to keep everyone protected, online rules keep information protected on different forms of social media or other websites.

Rules are designed to be followed so that everyone can access a website safely and have fun online. If people break the rules, the websites will not be able to protect everyone safely. Rules are important to teach our students because just like rules keep students safe in the classroom, rules will help keep our students safe online as well.

Teaching students online rules is similar to teaching students rules for classroom. Most teachers write down the rules on a large sheet of paper and hang it up at the front of the room for all the students to follow, this can also be done for online rules. Online rules can be posted for students either in the front of the classroom or on a Padlet like this one with different posts for the different rules, like this one. To make sure that students follow rules, they need to be able to refer to them whenever they need to.

Netiquette Tip #4: Grammar and spelling matter

# data[].attributes.body
Talking in text speak is okay if you're talking between friends but in a professional environment, such as things for school, it is important to use proper spelling and grammar.

Just like writing an essay for an assignment in class, it is important to write using correct grammar and spelling when writing online for class. Students are familiar with typing in shorthand or 'text-speak' when talking with friends and sometimes 'text-speak' might pop up in the classroom and it's important for students to be able to differentiate the difference between which form of grammar and spelling to be used in the classroom. Students will need to use proper spelling and grammar later in their educational careers so it's important that they know which form is correct to use in a professional setting.
