Netiquette is the combination of the words "etiquette" and "internet."  It is the proper way to behave appropriately and use the internet in a safe, respectful manner.

Before this project, I really had no idea that there was a set definition on how to behave online. After learning about Netiquette and News Literacy, I have learned that it is really important to teach children how to properly use the internet and how to find reliable and credible sources/information. I personally had learned a lot from researching these topics and creating this project. I feel like many people in the world don't really know how to properly use the internet. By teaching children at a young age the rules and regulations of the internet, many people in the future will be safer when it comes to social media, sharing information, and finding information. Before this project, I did not consider that there were rules and regulations that people should use on the internet. I kind of assumed that people learned on their own time and by being on the internet. And by having lesson plans on Netiquette and News Literacy more and more children will know what is right and what is wrong when it comes to many things online.  Overall, this project has taught me that Netiquette and News Literacy is a very important topic for anyone at any age, but especially for children, since technology is getting very important in todays day and the future.

Here are some helpful examples on how to behave and interact appropriately on the Internet

1) Be forgiving
If your classmate makes a mistake, don't badger him or her for it. Just let it go.

2) Do not use ALL CAPS!
Using proper grammar online is very important. Using all caps will make it seem that you are screaming.

3) Be yourself
Be open and honest. Making fake profiles with false information will make others discouraged to speak openly to you.

4) Keep a secret
Everything on the internet is not private. Don't post any personal information about yourself or other people.  Respect your privacy and others, as well.

5) Respect others
Respect other people's opinions, thoughts, and beliefs. Everyone on the internet is a HUMAN who has imperfections and feelings. Don't say something on the internet if you won't ever say it in person.

Growing up I was never on the internet as much as children are today. Also, I was never taught what Netiquette was. I think it is very important to add a lesson on Netiquette in the classroom curriculum. Children nowadays are using iPads and laptops during school hours. As teachers, it is our jobs to inform our students the "rules" of the internet. Children will overall be safer if we teach Netiquette. By teaching Netiquette, teachers, will be able to integrate the use of technology more in their classroom and outside the classroom. I know, for sure, in my classroom, my students will know and use proper Netiquette. This will make my students succeed to the best ability on the internet for the rest of their lives.

Netiquette these days is crucial. Knowing this as a teacher is very important because you need to present yourself in a professional manner online and in the classroom. Having and displaying this etiquette will help model it to students so they too can learn what good net etiquette. Students need to learn netiquette so that they can learn how to respect and treat others online properly. With the amount of time students spend online it is very important to make sure they are using technology and connecting with others properly.

News Literacy is an important life skill in the Digital Age for every young person to have. In my classroom, I would put into my curriculum a lesson plan that would teach my students the critical thinking skills to test the reliability and credibility of sources and information even if it is printed, on the internet, or on the television. By teaching my students how to be news literate it will demand journalists and news outlets to have authentic information and sources. Having everyone be news literate will change the way journalism is and it will become better and easier to have credible and reliable news.

News literacy is the action of using critical thinking to determine the validity and reliabilty of information, whether it is the newspaper, television or online. The digital age has made this act very important because we see so much information everyday and need to be able to sort out what is true.

Here are some examples on how to tell if a source is reliable and valid. You can use the acronym IMVAIN to help you remember

1) Independant
Independent sources are better than self-interested source. If a website has any anything at stake it wont be reliable.

2) Multiple Sources
You should be able to find more than one article that says the same thing as your source

3) Verify
Sources should back up what they are saying with facts on the topic

4)  Authoritve/Informed
Sources should have credentials or first hand knowledge/research on the topic

5) Named
Sources should have named witnesses and writers who are accountable for the sources reliablity

Megan's Netiquette Lesson Plan- Private and Personal Information (Grade 3-5)

# data[].attributes.body
If I were to teach a lesson on Netiquette, I would have a lesson plan on how to protect yourself from online identity theft. To begin the lesson, I would ask my students, What types of information do you think is okay to share online publicly, for anyone to see? I assume some responses would be their first name or their interests and hobbies. This will get them thinking about what would be right or wrong to share online. Next, I would give them two key vocabulary words to ponder also. What is personal information and what is private information? After getting responses from my students I would let them know that theres safe personal information and unsafe private information to share online. Some safe personal information that is shareable online is: first name, hobbies, favorite food, opinions, etc. Also, I would let them know about unsafe private information that should not be shared online, like: social security number, address, phone number, date of birth, parent's credit card information, etc. Then, I would ask for more responses on, why would someone want to steal someone else's identity? Some sample responses could be: to steal money, to do something bad, or to hide their real identity. This is where I would introduce another vocabulary word: identity theft. I would explain to my students what identity theft is. And to end the lesson, I would remind my students to think before sharing any information.  They should think and question, “Am I giving out information that I should keep private?” Lastly, they should always ask a parent or guardian before going online and giving out any information.

News literacy is important as a teacher because you must make sure that the information you are sharing is valid and reliable. It would be horrible as a teacher to present my students with information that is false. As a teacher it is important to teach this to my students so that they can learn how to find reliable and valid news themselves. Students will be using technology outside of class to do research and it is crucial for them to be able to spot fake news and how to locate reliable news

News Literacy and Netiquette go hand and hand because they are all about keeping kids smart and safe. Being a teacher those are the most important things that you need to teach your students. In this day in age technology will play a major role in our students lives and educating them and giving them the tools they need to use the technology properly are crucial. Incorporating these two concepts in curriculum is very important in their education because otherwise students will not get the opportunity to learn about how to act and use the internet

Prior to this lesson I didn’t consider the necessity of teaching students about internet usage. I feel that growing up in the rise of the internet I learned more from trial and error then a did from lessons in school. Growing up I had computer classes but they were mainly on how to use a computer not how to thrive on the internet. Both have value and both need to be taught in schools for students to succeed. Doing this research taught me that there are so many aspect tho using the internet that students will need to be taught. A lot of the information I came across were things that I knew but had never had concretely thought about. Using tools such as the acronym IMVAIN, are very useful and I feel would be good to have posted on the classroom walls as reference, as well and the five tips of netiquette. As a parent I feel this information needs to be taught as soon as they know how to access technology. Things such as privacy and safety concerns are something that must be taught as soon as possible.

Julie's Lesson Plan: Spotting Good Sources (Grade 4-5)

# data[].attributes.body
To teach my students about news literacy and the process of finding a reliable valid source I would first show them the IMVAIN chart on the five parts to looks for. After going over the five parts I would pull up a few websites. As a class we would go through the website and see if it meets the qualifications of IMVAIN. After I would ask students if they had any question on how to check if a source was reliable and valid. I would then assign each of them a topic to research and ask them to find good sites according to the IMVAIN standards. I would then go around checking and assisting students to find appropriate information. After I would ask a few students how they new that their sites were good. Lastly I would have them write down individually why they think finding a good reliable and valid site is important. I would also hang a poster of the IMVAIN qualification in the classroom for future reference.
