Netiquette is a set of rules/a code regarding the proper way someone should communicate and interact with others on the internet. As technology rapidly advances, it is important that everyone is educated on the effects of communicating with people through a screen.  Practicing netiquette is important for both students and teachers. It is important for students because if someone is not practicing proper netiquette, it can get them into an abundant amount of trouble. A student who does not use netiquette can cause fights, out breaks, miscommunication, and even online bullying. Practicing proper netiquette techniques can positively affect students' mental and physical health at school. Respecting your peers online allows for more optimal learning and positive engagement inside and outside of the classroom. It is also important for teachers to practice proper netiquette because it can affect their career. As a teacher you need to set an example for your students as well as be professional. Teachers need to separate their personal life with their professional life. Teachers should be role models and practice what they preach, especially about internet safety.

Netiquette Rule#1 Cool Off Before Responding to Messages in Anger.

Netiquette Rule#1 Cool Off Before Responding to Messages in Anger.

# data[].attributes.body
Usually when conversing with someone, a message can be interpreted wrong. Someone may put something in all caps or may even say something that was interpreted differently by both parties. This can definitely lead to someone getting upset or angry. In the moment of feeling attacked, your first instinct would be to reply back with the same tone you received. When this happens, someone may say something they will regret in the future. When upset, you should definitely take a breather before replying. People tend to say things they don't mean. Take a step away from your computer if you're upset and give yourself time to cool off. By doing so, you can think of the appropriate response.

I chose this netiquette tip because many times situations that can be avoided are initially instigated because of a message someone sent when he/she was angry. Your emotions definitely affect your response. Something you'd say when you're upset is probably not something you'd say when you're thinking correctly. Replying with anger can make a response much worse. In order to avoid that, people need to learn to cool down before responding.

This netiquette tip is important to teach a student because no matter what age you are, people tend to say things they don't mean. For example, a child may receive a low grade but feel as though they deserved a higher one. Depending on the age, some students may write a nasty email to their teacher demanding a better grade. This impulse action could've been avoided or brought about differently.

There are multiple ways to teach students how to cool off before responding with anger. In order to teach the students I'll be teaching one day, I'll create a hands on activity. Most students like interacting with the lesson that way they can have fun while learning the topic. I would first have each student raise their hand if they ever got upset. I'd then ask the class how many students have said something they didn't mean because they were upset. I'd then ask the students if that resulted in a good or bad outcome. After seeing the outcome, I'd explain rule #1 and the aspects surrounding it so the students can have a better understanding. We would also do activities where there's a sentence on slips of paper. Some sentences will contain a nice content while others would be more derogatory, but still appropriate. I'll ask the students to identify which one was said with anger and how they came up with that conclusion. Overall, once the activities are done I'll ask the class what they got from it. I'll also just make sure my class is respectful. Throughout the course of me being a teacher, my students will be receiving warm up exercises in order to set an example.

Netiquette Rule #2 Help Keep Flame Wars Under control

# data[].attributes.body
In the heat of a moment, or mid argument, sometimes it is easy to say something that you will regret later on.  Expressing oneself in a powerful and strong way without holding back any emotion is known as “flaming.”  Flaming is not forbidden by the internet but can easily lead to something more powerful, also known as a flame war.  Flame wars are intensified arguments that may attack an individual at a personal level.  These can be in the form of a series of online angry letters.  Flame wars can be incredibly devastating and hold derogatory content.  People use flame wars as a way to personally attack individuals.  This can be more easily done behind a computer or phone screen because there is little to no face to face confrontation.

I chose this netiquette tip because a lot of times people do not realize what they are saying when they are angry, frustrated, annoyed, and or upset.  People think that flame wars are a form of entertainment, when in fact, they can be incredibly hurtful.  Online bullying can arise from flame wars.  Therefore, it is important that students are educated about this topic and the effects that can occur as a result of engaging in an online flame war.

# data[].attributes.body
In order to teach the effects of flame wars to my future students, I would first explain how sometimes when people are angry they do not think with a clear mind which can instigate online bullying.  Flaming can quickly turn into flame wars without even realizing it at first glance.  I would educate my students on the effects of cyber-bullying through the use of Youtube videos and real life examples.  I will constantly remind my students the importance of having empathy and thinking “How would this make me feel if the situation was reversed?”  Lastly, I will make sure my classroom is a room where everyone is respected and every student’s feelings are acknowledged.  By setting this positive example and creating an uplifting and comforting environment, I would hope my students learn to replicate this at home, online, and for the rest of their lives.

Netiquette Rule #4 Adhere to The Same Standards of Behavior Online That You Follow In Real Life

# data[].attributes.body
Many times people say stuff online that they would not necessarily say to someone face to face.  This is because people feel as though they can hide behind a screen and act in a different and/or tougher way than they would if confronted in person.  It is important that people of all ages remember that good online etiquette is critical.  Whether it be online or in person, you should conduct yourself in a polite and acceptable manner.  Even if there is a screen separating two people, that does not in any circumstance mean they are not affected by the things said.  Not to mention, anything done illegally on the internet is poor online etiquette.  If you wouldn't do or say something in real life, do not do it online.

I chose this netiquette rule because a lot of times students gain an abundant amount of confidence behind a cellphone or computer screen to act differently than they would in real life.  It is vital to remind students that what they do or say online should be a representation of how they act in real life.  Sometimes people, students especially, feel as though they will not get caught with what they say or post online which is not the case.  Reminding my students that there is a human on the other side of the screen, even if unseen, is incredibly humbling.  Remember to be ethical.

Netiquette #3 Check Messages for Misspellings or Misstatements.

# data[].attributes.body
Spelling is a major key in communicating not only on paper but on the internet as well. It demonstrates professionalism as well as helps someone understand you. You may have meant to write one word but actually spelt another. Words can sound alike but definitely be spelt different. I chose this netiquette because misspelling a word is a common issue on the internet. By misspelling a word, your professionalism may come into question. If a teacher is spelling everything wrong, automatically everyone's going to question her position. Misspelling or misstatements can definitely lead to someone interpreting what you have written differently.

This netiquette rule is important to teach students because grammar is a major key in life. Whether you're misspelling something on the internet or through text, someone may get a total different idea of what you're implying. Throughout life, people get judged or graded on misspelling things. As a teacher you're obligated to judge a student for spelling or grammar. Students need to learn the difference between texting a friend, a parent and someone professionally. There are multiple ways to address a situation and misspelling and misstatements makes up a huge part of it.

# data[].attributes.body
In order to teach this netiquette rule to my students I would remind them that how they act online should be no different than how they act in person.  It is incredibly important that you respect the feelings of others online and in person.  Also, I will tell my students to be careful with how they say things online.  For example, being aware of aggressive all capital messages and exclamation points is critical.  Sometimes they can offend people.  I will constantly remind my students about the importance of adhering to the same standards of behavior online that they follow in real life.
