Rule number seven of the Netiquette states: Help keep flame wars
under control. The purpose of this rule isn’t to discourage flame wars. For
example, a person deserves to rant on a certain topic on a blog, however, excessive attacking of people online is what rule is trying to avoid. Thus, the rule is
trying to keep people from trying to destroy others opinions or not trying to
reason with someone. While a heated debate has its advantages and helps an individual voice their opinion, it is important for that person to be considerate of the opponents’
opinions too.

I choose this rule I have seen flame wars first hand. While some are good hearted
and people just want to voice how they feel about something, I have seen times
where an argument turned into a competition of whose idea was better rather
than a respectful debate. In order to have a debate, it is important to keep
the opponents opinions in mind. As an onlooker of a flame war, you can also
help keep the debate under control by being somewhat of a referee. You can tell
someone privately that you might have felt their opinion was well thought out,
however, the way they wrote it was harsh. This skill is important to teach
students because it will help students respect other student’s opinions, while
also keeping their own opinions. This will help teach students to treat other
students in a debate with respect. One example that I saw firsthand while I was
in school was a debate over support of the Presidential Candidates in the 2008
Election. I still remember classmates arguing both in school and online why
they supported their candidate. I still remember thinking to myself, this is
getting out of control, however, the teacher didn’t address how to handle this
war, and I didn’t know the skill of keeping flame wars under control.

As stated before, I believe that this is a very important skill to teach to my
students. One way that you can teach students on voicing their opinions while
respecting the other side’s viewpoint is to use a Venn diagram. In the case
that I stated earlier with the Presidential Election, the flame war could be
halted if our teacher monitored us as we voiced our opinions through the use of
a Venn diagram. On one circle we could’ve put up Barack Obama, and on the other
John McCain, then in the middle both. The students could right their opinions
in whichever circle they agreed with. Then to respect both candidates and also
the other student’s opinions, in the middle of the two circles, they can write
what both of them have in common. This way, the students can see that their
opinions aren’t so different.

Rule number five of the Netiquette rulebook is “Make yourself look good online.” Similar to how it is so important to remember that there is a real human on the other side of the screen, it is equally important to respect yourself. One great thing about online communication is that you will never be judged for the way you look. However, you can and will be judged by your writing quality, choice of words and what you post about. That is why it is extremely important to follow guidelines such as, knowing what your talking about, always proof reading your work, and using acceptable language. It is becoming more and more common for people to loose their jobs over something that was posted online.  One must remember that once something is posted it never truly goes away.

We choose this rule due to the statistics we found on the number of people loosing jobs due to inappropriate behavior online is increasing. This is something that is completely avoidable and is being caused by not thinking about consequences before uploading or posting to social media. Too many people are forgetting to respect themselves online just as they would in person.

We believe this is something that is very important to teach to our students. We want to provide examples on how something as little as a spelling mistake can cost you a job. They need to be aware that everything that is posted on the Internet will never go away and making yourself look good online is crucial to their reputation. We also discussed how grammar and sentence structure is something that needs to be taken very seriously from an early age. If teachers around the world become aware and teach their students proper netiquette chances are it will have a positive impact on many students’ lives.

Rule number two of Netiquette states: Adhere to the same standards of behavior online that you follow in real-life. Everyone has heard the old saying, “treat people the way you would like to be treated.” I believe this rule relates directly to that quote. My students should have the same standards online as they do in real-life. Meaning, they should treat a person online the same way they would like to be treated in real life. They should always think about what they are saying before they send it. For an example, they should ask themselves "Could this be taken the wrong way?" or "How would I feel if this was sent to me?".

I chose this rule in particular because of its importance in the classroom today. With the increase in young social media users, there is also an increase in cyber bullying. When a student comes to class scared over what a cyber-bully said over the internet, the studentbecomes fearful. Not only is this terrible for the students confidence and
overall feeling of safety, it hurts their learning too. Thus, I chose to
research this rule so I can keep my students feeling safe when they come to
school, and also have them learning at their highest levels.

It is important to teach students to adhere to the same standards of behavior online
that you follow in real-life because we want our students to act appropriately
both in and out of school as well as both offline and on line. If we address how to behave online using the “treat people the way you want to be treated” to our students, I believe they will learn the nature of respecting one another better. This will enable them to learn at a higher level, and have more confidence in the classroom.

Rule number one of the Netiquette rulebook discusses the importance of “Remembering the Human”. One might ask what exactly that means. Remembering the human means that one should communicate online just as they would in person. One must remember that the person you are communicating with cannot see facial expressions, gestures, feelings, or hear a tone of voice. This makes it very common for people to misunderstand each other online.

We choose this Netiquette because we believe that not taking into consideration of the person on the other side of the screen leads to big problems such as cyber bullying. As we enter a decade based around technology, cyber bulling is becoming more and more of an issue. Cyber bullying is defined as a form of bullying through electronic activity. It has many negative effects on students such as skipping school, becoming involved in drugs, receiving poor grades, low self-esteem, and many more. Cyber bullying can be avoidable if we educate to our students’ proper netiquette and what it means to remember the human on the other side of the screen.

In our future classroom, we believe this is something that is very important to teach our students. It is important for them to realize everything that is typed online is always stored somewhere and that words can hurt. A great way to teach students the importance of remembering the human is having two volunteers of the class acting out a script standing in front of each other. Then, having another pair of students acting out the same script behind a screen. This will show our students hands on how a conversation between two people can be interpreted totally different then one online. Our goal of this lesson would be for our students to understand that there is a real person behind the screen and it is extremely important to always check over your email/online communication before hitting send.

The word network is referring to, but not limited to, social media, email, and online groups. Etiquette describes a customary code of polite behavior in society. Combining these two terms “Netiquette” is formed as a shortened term for Network Etiquette. The book of Netiquette provides a set of rules for behaving properly online. This is extremely important as we enter a society solely based around online technology. A problem for this is that people are forgetting that the other person behind the computer screen is real and have their own personality and opinions. Not properly monitoring your own behavior online can have a negative effect on one as a professional and an individual. A recent study shows 1 in 10 people between the ages of 16 and 34 have lost their jobs due to due something as simple as an inappropriate comment or picture. As future teachers we believe the rules of netiquette are something to be taken very seriously, not only for us but for our students as well. The average age of students and children having availability to technology and social media is getting younger each year. A study from 2014 showed the average age of a child from 12-17 on social media is 73%. Teaching Netiquette to children in the classroom will have long lasting positive results.
