Netiquette= Internet (Network) + Etiquette, is defined as the "set of rules" for online behavior. In other words, it is the acceptable, or "right way" to interact online.

There are many ways to exemplify good online behavior. While there is no rule book for Netiquette, there is a general guide to follow. This list of rules can be implemented for both the classroom, and external use. Using the "golden rule" of doing unto others as you would have them do unto you, can help navigate the correct path of etiquette within technology.

The Do's and Don'ts of online behavior!
»Dont's
•Never write in capital letters, many feel as though this is shouting across the internet!
•Don't plagiarize! Many people work hard to build their content, so it is unfair, and can cause many legal issues when you wrongfully copy someone else's work as your own. Always give credit to where credit is due.
• Do not use inappropriate language! This is important so younger users are not being exposed to certain words or phrases. It is also very important to not use inappropriate language as it will reflect your own reputation. What goes out into the internet stays there, so it is important to never use foul or degrading language that could upset, or offend anyone. Respect and integrity are very important for online use, as future bosses, employers, or colleagues can view you in a negative way.
• Don't hurt other peoples feelings! Much like before, we must always remain conscience of what we are putting out online, so we will not hurt or offend people. Cyberbullying is a huge offense, and can have serious ramifications if found. So always remain cordial and polite.

• Be kind and respectful! We must always value, and accept others opinions, ideas, and thoughts whether we agree with them or not. If there is nothing nice to say than say nothing at all!
• Think to yourself- would I say this to someones face?
• Always use proper language and grammar. How we text is completely different when communicating online.
•When addressing others online, always use correct prefix, or preferred name.
•Always respect others privacy, and keep discussions professional.

It is very important to cover these topics in school. With modern use of the internet it is very easy to violate a digital law, sometimes without even knowing it. Violations of digital law can lead to a fine or even jail time, depending on the severity.

Most students don't know what digital law is and are probably very new to the term itself. A good idea would be to start off by explaining what exactly digital law is and asking the students if they can share any examples of a digital law. Next it would be important to explain to the students how important it is to follow these rules and that even though it is the internet, there can be major repercussions by misusing it. Showing the students a video would be a good way to get them engaged. After the video the class could enter a discussion about what they have learned and why they think it is important to follow these rules, especially when using a school computer or on a school account.
