In the real world we are supposed to act a certain way, and the same guidelines should be honored in the virtual world as well. Many schools and places of employment are integrating technology into their daily practice. Therefore, it is important to behave and write appropriately and practice this at an early age.

I think the problem with cyber-bullying is that children are not introduced to technology and are not taught the proper ways to act when online. I think practicing netiquette in schools and incorporating technology into the classroom is important because it will provide children with guidance on how to act respectively both in real life and through the digital world.

I will incorporate proper netiquette in my classroom by providing my students with clear expectations in the beginning of the year. I will help them by practicing netiquette daily and this will help shape their attitudes to be more respectful when on the internet.

Ever since I could remember, I have been told to only post appropriate things online because once it is online, it stays there. This rule ties in with the Golden Rule, which is the foundation to many rules of proper netiquette.

You can make yourself look good online by knowing what you are talking about. Pay attention to the content of your writing by making it clear and logical. Also, pay attention to grammar and spelling. Swearing is not appropriate netiquette. It is important to stay professional and polite. No matter what age.

To put it simply, behave the way you would online as you would in the real world. The same standards apply online as they would in real life (Virigina Shea, 1994). Many people think that they are protected in the digital world, therefore giving them the opening the door for poor behavior. The standards of online behavior are different, but should not be lowered by any means.

Colorado State University suggests the user to act within the laws and proper ethical manners in cyberspace as they would in real time. Be courteous, friendly, polite, and professional at all times. Everything on the internet, stays on the internet. That is why it is important to be aware of the messages being sent (Mark Frank, 2007).

Netiquette is the combination of the word network and etiquette, which is the etiquette of cyberspace. The virtual world can closely relate to the real world, meaning that we must follow a few basic rules to keep everything in order and running smoothly. Netiquette are the manners that everyone should follow when communicating online.
