2. Be careful when using humor or sarcasm online. It may be fun to use sarcasm or crack a joke when online but be careful because you never know who is reading it and could take it seriously even though it was a joke.

3. Protect your privacy- Always make sure your privacy settings are most up to date. Make sure you update your passwords every so often.

4. Make sure you think critically- People lie about their identity online so it's important to be careful. Also sometimes websites are scams so if something seems like a good deal it might be fake.

1. DON'T not proof read posts. It is important to proof read so you don't accidentally send something you didn't mean to post.

2. DON'T use all caps- caps are often used to place emphasis when texting or posting. But sometimes people take caps the wrong way and think the person sending to the post or text is yelling at them all the time.

3. DON'T post offensive comments online. It is important that everyone behind the screen is a decent human being and saying hurtful things or comments can cause harm to the other person

4. DON'T spam others. People become overwhelmed with posts and emails. So don't keep spamming the person if they are not answering.

I never considered why teaching netiquette and digital citizenship is so important. I think it was important to do a project like this because as a teacher it is important to realize technology is constantly changing. It is not always going to be the same and I will have to adapt to how my students learn based on what is being used in the school district today. Also, there is so much technology out there today and social media that it is important to know how to be safe and respectful when online. I thought the don't use all caps was interesting. I have always thought caps mean screaming but a lot of my friends use all caps all the time. It gets annoying because I never know if they are yelling or just trying to place emphasis.

I never considered the exact definitions of netiquette and digital citizenship. I also never knew what they were exactly. I heard of them before but never knew what they were. When I learned about it in school, they always just called it internet safety. I also never knew how important they were to learn about. Especially now with all the social media that is out now it is important to learn the proper way to act online.

The research I did on netiquette and digital citizenship has strengthened my viewpoint on the topics. This is because I did not realize the importance of teaching netiquette and digital citizenship in the classroom. I never realized there was so many dos and don’ts of them. Even if some of them seemed like common sense a lot of people still do the "don'ts" of netiquette and digital citizenship all the time. As a teacher it is important students know how to interact online. This is because I want my students to be kind and respectful when online and I don't want them to ever hurt someone by accident when they didn't know the rules.
