1. I liked this project. It taught me a lot and gave me ideas for future lessons. Before this project I had never heard of netiquette. With that said, it wasn't a hard concept to figure out. After doing this research I learned a lot of what netiquette entails were things I considered to be common sense. Being respectful to others whether it's in person or online was something I thought everyone knew. After thinking about what I learned from this project and what I've seen on social media, I've noticed that being respectful to others online isn't something everyone thinks about. For example, if a controversial post is made on Facebook, there's always an argument between strangers. In this argument, everyone involved has no respect for the others. Being respectful and treating others how you'd want to be treated is something we are taught in school at a very young age. Treating other how you want to be treated is taught as the "Golden Rule". This along with being respectful to others is often forgotten about.

2. Something I did not consider before doing research was that not everyone was taught these rules. The rules of netiquette were things I was taught at a young age, however I didn't know they were considered rules of netiquette. This shows the importance of teaching netiquette to children of any age because they will grow into habits of good netiquette. Another thing I didn't consider was how simple the actual concept of netiquette is. Being respectful to others, making few mistakes when writing online, and double checking or rereading your work are just a few simple examples of netiquette.

3. Completing this project has strengthened my views towards teaching children lessons about the internet. Technology is so prevalent in their lives today, much more than it was with any other generation. It is important that they are taught proper ways to behave online, whether it's avoiding cyberbullying and remembering the human behind the screen or if it's how to write an email/letter or a polite comment. In rare cases, parents don't teach their children these topics. I was lucky enough to have my parents and teachers teach me netiquette, even if that's not what they called it. With the information from this project, I can incorporate several ideas into future lessons in my classroom and make sure my students are aware of netiquette as well as the importance of it.

Proper language is also called appropriate language. When writing an email you want to make sure you are addressing your audience (the recipient) in an proper/appropriate manner. Proper language includes minimal if not no spelling mistakes or typos, proper grammar and punctuation, no slang words, and not typing in all caps. Also proper sentence structure is important. Don't be biased or stereotypical when writing to someone. This can dramatically change the outcome because you can say the wrong thing or even insult your audience. Besides having the piece of writing sound and look better, proper language also make you look better and smarter as the writer.

Ms. Zidel's 1st Grade Lesson on Proper Language

# data[].attributes.body
1.)  First, I will have all the students gather together to brainstorm the do's and don'ts of writing, which can also be called proper language. Each student can contribute what they think could be an good or bad example of writing. As examples are given I will write them on the board so they can be used as a reference. Once examples are written on the board, I will explain to them the importance of having proper language. We will then discuss where it would be a good idea to use proper language.
2.) Next, I will split the class into small groups of 2 or 3. Each group will either write a few sentences with proper language or a few sentences with improper language, depending on what their group gets assigned with. To make sure groups are spread out and they don't write the same exact answers I will give them the option to sit wherever with their groups. This includes at their desks, at the rug, in the hallway (right outside our classroom door), etc. Each group will have a small whiteboard to write on. They can use the list on the board that we created as a class for and refer to it as much as they need for this activity.

Examples of proper language
"I have 2 brothers and 1 sister."
"My teachers are Ms. White and Ms. Zidel!"
"What time is it?"

Examples of improper language
"i sawed the grene turtle"
"i brushed my teeths thIs morning"
*notice mistakes in spelling, grammar, and capitalization as well as no punctuation*

3.) After they create their sentences, we will come back together as a class and discuss. Each group will share one of the sentences they created and why it is proper/improper. Once each group has shared what they came up with, I will write my own examples of simple sentences on the board, either representing proper/improper and using ideas from the "do's and don'ts" list we created together. After I write each example, the class will have a chance to say why it's right or wrong.
4.) To conclude my lesson about proper language I will give each student a sheet that will have our class list of examples we came up with as well as the list of where the examples should be used. They can keep this list in their writing folder so that way it can be used for reference whenever they need and they know exactly where it is.

Remember That We Are All Human         Behind The Screen

# data[].attributes.body
People can often forget there is a real human being behind the computer screen. Your choice of words are the only things you have when communicating online. You can't tell someone's tone of voice and you can't see their expressions or gestures. Someone can easily misinterpret what you say. It is important to make sure you sound professional and get your point across to the other person in the best way possible so any chance of something getting misinterpreted is removed.
People can also hide behind the screen and bully other people, this brings in the topic of cyberbullying. They forget the person on the other side is just another person behind a screen too.

Know who your audience is or who is the recipient of something you send. If you are texting a friend you can be more informal, but if you are emailing a professor or employer you should be talking in a more formal way. To communicate in a formal way you should make sure you address the other person in a respectful way. Try using "Dear Ms..." or "Hello Professor..." as an introduction.

You never know who will see what you post online, future employers can make decisions off of your netiquette. You don't want things making you look foolish. This includes pictures and videos you post as well as written communication. You want to make sure pictures and videos you post are appropriate. When it comes to actual writing, you want to make sure you come across as professional. This includes being respectful, having knowledge about what you are talking about, and proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation.

# data[].attributes.body
I enjoyed completing this project, as I learned a lot. I not only educated myself but, I was also able to learn some new ways and plans on how to educate my future class. In all honesty, when we first went over this project and discussed it in our first class, I was a little nervous. I actually had never heard of the word, “netiquette”. It was a whole new word for me to learn in a matter of 2 weeks. Growing up as a child in school, and even outside of school, I was taught to be respectful of people whether it's online or in person. I was told to respect other people's opinions and never say something to someone that I wouldn't want to be said to me. Even when I received my first smartphone and started creating social media accounts, my parents monitored the accounts and my messages to make sure I was being proper and not childish. Even now as a 21 year old, my family will reach out to me and explain that something I shared on one of my news feeds might be offensive to someone. They tell me that people might not understand it and will get upset over it. I think that in this world we live in today, anything and everything will be offensive to a person out there. Therefore, teaching our future generations about netiquette and the rights and wrongs of the internet, will be super beneficial in bringing back humanity.

Prior to conducting my research on netiquette, I came to understand that there is much more to it than most people know. For instance, I never knew that when someone writes in all capital letters when they send a text message or email, that they are angry or shouting at you. I mean, I guess I knew it was more exaggerated but, I never knew that it was considered ‘bad netiquette’ or ‘rude’. I did not think that messages like that would receive their own category or profile. Another thing that I really did not think of prior to this assignment's research, was that not all people know the rules of the internet. Like there are families out there that don't care what their kids do on social media or have any involvement, especially if they're younger. And to add on to this, these children might not know how to properly use grammar and punctuation which is another example of bad netiquette. I guess I just never realized that there are children out there that are in a fend for themselves situation, where they don't learn right from wrong.

Overall, my research has strengthened my value of education as a whole. I am blessed and lucky to have had teachers and family members that taught me about the internet Do’s and Don’ts. If I did not have these resources, I wouldn't be where I am today. Feeding off of this, I also realize how important the role of an educator is with their students. We have the control in our classrooms and we should use it to the best of our ability. Sharing our knowledge of the internet safety and manners with our kids is the best thing we can do. It also strengthened my power of knowing to correct and step into a situation when it is going bad. If I see someone acting off, I need to put an end to it before it escalates. The same rules that apply online also apply in real life. And vice versa.

NetSafe Episode 5: Cyberbullies are No Fun! (Grades 4-6)

# data[].attributes.body
Cyberbullying is when kids utilize technology to hurt others. They use social media to harass and embarrass their acquaintances. In our world today, kids constantly are on their cell phones scrolling through news feeds, flying in and out of their DMs and so on. Therefore, cyberbullying can happen at any given time or place and involve one or even multiple people.

Common Examples:

￮ sending out mean emails, texts, or DMs

￮ spreading rumors or gossip about someone

￮ sharing embarrassing photos of someone without their consent

￮ creating fake social media accounts in order to pretend you are someone else

Ms. White's 4th Grade Lesson Plan on Cyberbullying 

# data[].attributes.body
1.) First, I will ask the class what they know about cyberbullying. I will then proceed to follow up by giving them the correct definition, along with some examples. After this, I will ask my students if any one of them has ever been a cyberbully or if they have been a victim of the act.

2.) Secondly, I will divide the white board in half. One side will be titled, “Cyberbullying” while the other will be named, “Acceptable”. I will then grab my deck of index cards that will each contain a given scenario corresponding with the internet. The total number of index cards I will have will be the same as the number of students on my class roster. I will then read aloud the scenarios one by one. I will follow up by picking on each student from top to bottom on my roster (so that each gets a chance). I then want that child to come grab the index card that will have tape on the back, and place it on the side of the white board they think that scenario fits best under.

Examples:

One cyberbullying scenario would be, “Sally comes home from school and opens up her laptop to do some homework. She gets distracted and notices that she has a few new emails. Within one of the emails, she gets called ugly and stupid. Sally closes the laptop, runs to her room and spends the night upset and crying.”

One acceptable scenario would be, “John logged on to instagram and saw that he had some new comments on his recently posted photo. People commented that they loved his photo and that he looked handsome. This made John happy and proud.”

3.) After each child comes up and places their index cards under one of the categories, I will go through them, read them each aloud again, one by one to the class, and have a discussion as to why that index card is in the right category or why it should be in the other one.

4.) I will close this activity, by asking my students again, what cyberbullying is. I will ask why it is bad and wrong for this act to happen. I will then open it up for questions and answer any that they may ask.

Why is Netiquette Important for Children?

# data[].attributes.body
Children need to know proper netiquette early in life. Technology is so prevalent in the lives of children today, they need to learn how to be nice and polite when online. It's important to know that things can have consequences. When talking online something can be taken out of context and feelings can get hurt. Children are taught in school to be nice, respectful, and not hurt feelings, so they need to learn the same for online.

Netiquette is important because it is how a majority of people communicate online. There are proper and improper ways to communicate. This is knowledge one must learn and be educated on, it doesn't come to everyone as easily as it may with others.
https://networketiquette.net/what-is-netiquette/
When communicating in a group, having proper netiquette can set you apart from others who may not. You don't know who will see what you say online. Anyone including family member or a future employer can see posts of yours.
