After doing this project, I have learned why it is so important to teach your students proper netiquette. Growing up in this day and age, all kids use the internet for a variety of different reasons. It is vital that they know how to properly present themselves on the internet. It is our job as teachers to guide and teach our students netiquette so they don't suffer in the future.

I didn't realize that there were so many rules on how one should behave on the internet. Now that I have researched about online behavior and safety, I know that supervision is very important when it comes to young kids on the internet. Parents should make sure to keep tabs on their child, checking their privacy, what is being shared, and if it's appropriate.

My research has confirmed that the internet is a dangerous place and if students are not taught how to act, they could get targeted. This could then lead to emotional problems. Cyberbullying happens every day and kids are suffering and hurting themselves because of it. It will be my goal to make sure none of my students ever harm themselves because of something that someone has said to them through the internet because I will have taught them how to properly handle the bully.

In this lesson plan, you will divide all your students into pairs.
- Their first task is to construct an email on a topic of their choice
-Once they are done, they are to email it to their partner
-Once both students have received the email from each other, it is their job to look for spelling mistakes, anything that could be offensive to someone, or anything they do not agree with
-After both have written down these things, they are to talk about these items with each other. In a non hurtful way, they are to tell their partner why they feel the way they do and why they think the email should be changed
-The goal of this lesson is to teach students how to be forgiving of other people when on the internet, without hurting their feelings

Technology and the internet is, and forever will, be an immense part of our students' lives. This is something we, as teaches, should embrace and use to the best of our abilities. Just like in real life, there are rules that should be followed to ensure internet safety and limit cyber bullying.  As a teacher, we have a huge impact on the mannerisms of how our students act on and off of the internet. Our students must be aware of what is acceptable behavior on the internet and what could be misconceived, hurtful, or dangerous. The expectations we have of our students should not differ whether on or offline.

Before this project, I have never heard of netiquette, but after researching and learning about it, I realize how important internet etiquette is. Without knowing how to behave, kids can accidentally hurt someones feelings or release private information. If everyone follows the rules of the internet, it can be a safe and friendly learning environment.

In this lesson plan, you will teach your students about cyber bullying and have them do the following activity:
- On the board have students list good things that they might say to someone (ex. you are kind, I like your shirt)
- Then have them make a list of things that you would not say to someone (ex. you smell)
- After they see the two categories, ask your students what things they would  say to a friend in person
- Then pose the question, "why would someone say these mean things on the internet?"
- The outcome of the lesson is to teach your students that if it is something that they would not say in person, they definitely should not say it over the internet

After finishing this Netiquette project it really got me thinking about how much of an impact a teacher has on their students in and out of the classroom. I did not truly understand how important it is for me to watch what I post or how I act on the internet to set a good example for my students. These kids spend most of their time at school, so they are not only learning the basic math, science and english, but they are learning how to be polite citizens on and off of the internet. As the teacher you also have to take responsibility for your students because you do not know what their parents are or are not teaching them about internet safety.

The research I did for this project helped to strengthen my view that teachers are one of the most important people in their students life because they have to teach their children how to be productive members of society. It is a big responsibility, but it is something that is really important for each teacher to take on.

In simplest terms, is network etiquette. Netiquette is how a person conducts them self on the internet. "etiquette" on its own is how to behave yourself properly in a setting. So, netiquette is the rules of behaving properly in the digital world.

It is extremely important to teach the rules of netiquette so that children and adults know that there are consequences to their actions even in the digital world. Netiquette education can help prevent cyber bullying, oversharing, and teach how to respect the people behind the screen.

It is important to realize that we are all human and everyone makes mistakes on and off the internet. Not everyone is extremely knowledgeable about the digital world so they might make mistakes like spelling errors, say something offensive, or do something that you do not agree with.

We chose this netiquette because it is necessary to practice kindness for something even as small as a spelling error because you would want someone to do that for you. But, if you really feel compelled to say something, make sure to send them a private email or message and never do it in a public forum. There is no need to bring more attention to the situation.

It is important to teach your students to be forgiving on the internet because it makes for a more accepting and understanding society. practicing kindness is something that we need more of in our society.

Today, we share so much personal information online, and sometimes we fail to realize that we are already sharing more than what we are comfortable with. Some people regularly give out private information to unknown sites, especially kids who are too engrossed in the technology that they are willing to share anything about their lives to get instant acess to online games or social media. Cyber hackers can get access to and use all of this personal information for a profit. It is the role of parents, guardians, and educators to be aware of what can happen when privacy is violated online.

To stay safe online, our students should be aware that they should use security software and keep it updated. Also, web browsers and operating systems should be up-to-date, which will make it harder for hackers to get a hold of your private information.

It is also important to know that once its out on the internet, it cannot be taken back. You should not post anything that you would not want a teacher, parent, or college admissions director knowing about you. This rule goes for posting about another person as well. If you know private information about a friend, it should stay private and not be exposed on the internet.

Technology is revolutionizing the way teachers teach and students learn. Socializing online can help students share thoughts, ideas, and connect with others, but its important to help your child learn how to navigate these spaces safely.

Oversharing is one of the biggest drawbacks that come with socializing online. Kids sometimes share too much information, or post pictures, videos , or words that can hurt someones feelings.

As teachers, it is important that we demonstrate what is acceptable behavior both the real-world and the digital world. To do this, we should always remind our students that actions have consequences. They should know to only post what they are comfortable with other people seeing, because once its online, it cannot be taken back.

Cyberbullying is a form of bullying that is done while hidden behind a screen. When kids are bullied through the use of electronic technology, they are unable to see the bully face to face. Some examples of cyberbullying are posting unwanted pictures or messages on social media, sending harassing text messages, creating fake accounts using other people's pictures and information, accessing private files or folders on personal computers and sharing them, and spreading untrue rumors about people online. These are just some of the many ways one can be a victim of cyberbullying. 4,400 young people commit suicide every year due to cyberbullying. Over half of adolescents and teens have been bullied online and more than 1 in 3 young people have experienced cyberthreats online.

It is important for kids to know how to properly handle being a victim of cyberbullying. The first thing a child should know to do when dealing with a cyberbully is to not react to them. Make sure the child knows not to retaliate and bully them back. It is more important that they save the evidence and share it with an official. Another important thing to teach children is to keep their social media profiles private so that only they can edit what is being posted and only their closest friends and family will be able to see their information. It is also vital that kids do not share their passwords with other kids. Finally, a victim should immediately block or delete whoever is bullying them.

I chose to talk about cyberbullying because it is a very important issue in today's cyber world. It is crucial to talk to students about cyberbullying because they are going to see it at some point in their lives and they should know how to deal with it.
