How I will teach my students about Netiquette #3 (Think before you post):

# data[].attributes.body
I personally find as a student that concepts make much more sense to me if they are explained using real life scenarios or if there is an activity involved. For one, I would give my students the advice that if they wouldn't share something with a stranger, they probably shouldn't post it online either. I could give them examples of things they might want to, but shouldn't, post and teach them how to reword them so they are not accidentally giving out too much information. Something else I could do is create an activity out of it by writing down a handful of potential posts and having the students discuss which ones are acceptable to share.

Netiquette #4: Understand the positive power of the internet.

# data[].attributes.body
The internet is a service that has probably impacted most people's lives and yet it is still relatively new. It is something that will definitely effect the lives of generations to come and will be even more complex than it is today. Although it definitely has some downfalls, the internet has many positive features. I think it is important for students to know that there are ways to reach large audiences and even ways to positively impact the world.
I chose this netiquette because as a child, I wish I knew of all the possibilities the internet offered. Unfortunately, the generations above me did not know much about it themselves, as it was something mainly being introduced to and explored by people close in age to me. Therefore, there were not many people knowledgable enough about it to teach my generation about it; we had to learn ourselves. I had no idea how big of a platform you could create on social media sites such as Facebook and YouTube for example. Now that we, as generations, are becoming the teachers of the world, I think it is our responsibility to educate children about all of the possibilities the internet can create.
I think that a lot of times, students are mainly told about all of the negative impacts the internet can cause and not often enough told about the good it can do. It is important for children in today's society to understand that the internet is very important and rapidly growing, and will probably be a big part of their lives. Students today should know that the internet offers a variety of ways to start a career or even share a hobby. There are countless people who have positively impacted the lives of many others solely through the internet.

It is always important to think before you post something online for a few different reasons. One reason for this is that not everyone will react to the things you post in the same way that you do. It is important to understand all the ways in which your post can be interpreted beforehand because it is easy for an online post to be misunderstood. Another reason is to make sure that you are not unintentionally giving out too much personal information. It is easy to get caught up in an exciting moment and immediately want to share it with your online friends, but you cannot forget that most of the time there are more people viewing your content than just your friends.
I chose this netiquette because as a child, you rarely think about the consequences a particular action might have. Having the entire internet at your fingertips is a very powerful thing but children do not often realize this. I think this is important to teach students because it is vital to understand that sometimes, the things you post on the internet can be seen by more people than you intended on. For example, something I remember my parents telling me as a kid was that right after you're told you're going on vacation, you're probably so excited that you want to post it on social media so your friends can know also. But, you should never post the dates you will be gone in case someone with the wrong intentions sees it and knows exactly which days your house will be vacant. These are the small things that as a kid, I definitely wouldn't have realized if my parents or teachers had not brought them to my attention.

How I will teach my students to cite their sources:

As I stated, I remember learning to cite my sources when I was in Elementary School when our teacher took us to the library and let us all pick out our own books. When it comes to my own students, I think I would take a similar approach. I will explain to them what it means to cite their sources and how citations can be used to give credit to others while helping make the students new work more interesting. I would allow them to pick a topic that they would like to write about and to incorporate some information from a website that they found pertaining to their topic. When children have a topic that they enjoy, they might be able to learn better and understand the importance of citations more clearly.  This will ensure that they will remember how to cite throughout the rest of their education.

Citing your sources is something that children typically learn at a young age, and something that I think is extremely important to practice. A lot of times when writing a paper or posting online, people are posting about ideas that did not originally come from their own minds. In this case, one must cite where they found the information that they needed in order to write. There are multiple different ways to cite a source and it is the job of the teacher to show children how to cite properly.

I chose this particular netiquette because it is something I remember being introduced to me when I was very young by my teachers in Elementary School. Students need to practice citing all throughout their education, so it is very important to teach them the proper way to do so. Students learn very young how bad it is to plagiarize someone else’s work, so teaching them that they can share what they learned in their text or from a website can be acceptable, as long as they give the creator their credit. Citing other’s work can make the student’s work more interesting and add more depth and understanding to what they are trying to explain.

Being respectful is important not only in person but online as well. When you are behind a computer screen, it is easy to say things that you would not normally say because there will be no immediate repercussions. You cannot see the other persons reactions to how you make them feel, therefore saying mean and hurtful things can be much easier. It is very important to practice this netiquette and to learn that being respectful is important through any means of communication.

I chose this netiquette because it is something that I was taught by my parents and teachers at a young age and it is something that I think is important to be taught to students. It is important for children to learn that when they say things, they are being said to their actual teacher or classmates who can be affected by the words they chose to say. Even though you cannot see these people, does not mean that they aren’t having feelings or reactions to what you are saying. If you would not be comfortable saying what you have to say to someones face, then you probably shouldn’t be saying it at all.

“Netiquette” is a term meaning online etiquette. Understanding how to interact online effectively and safely is becoming increasingly critical. Speaking to someone via the internet versus speaking to someone in person is extremely different because there is no immediate feedback from the “listener” and there are no body language cues.

For students, it is extremely important to understand that there are multiple rules for “netiquette” and that these rules must be followed to ensure that their message is being conveyed appropriately. It is the teachers responsibility to make sure that children are taught these rules in hopes that they will use them in both their school and personal lives.

As a professional, “netiquette” is taken very seriously and it can be detrimental to me if not practiced. With contacting professors and colleagues, it is extremely crucial that I am respectful and aware of all the language that I am using and how it can come across if not explained correctly. Along with this, it is critical for me to cite my sources and make sure that credit is given to the people that deserve it.

In my personal life, I have been practicing “netiquette” since I started using a computer. I always am conscious not to post or share material that I would not want to seen by anyone and I always try to be respectful and aware of the language that I am using.
