The Relationship Between Netiquette & News Literacy

# data[].attributes.body
Both netiquette and news literacy are both concerned with safety on the internet. It is very important for students to know all the rules of the internet and how to be cautious of all the possible dangers on the internet as well. Netiquette is manners on the net while news literacy is how to be smart with the articles to trust and what information could be false. They're different aspects of the internet but netiquette is courteousness while news literacy is being aware of possible lies and fake news on the web.

Going into this project I had a decent amount of background information about news literacy and netiquette. Looking back how I learned this knowledge was from my 5th and 6th grade elementary school teachers. The importance they placed on it is how my view is based now. Being safe and polite on the internet will also help you with other aspects in life. News literacy and netiquette go hand in hand, finding sources that follow both guidelines correctly will be the most beneficial for students.

Arguable there is no difference between what is said in a real life situation and what is said online. The same rules apply for each, if you do not think you would say it in a face to face conversation you should not say it behind a computer screen. The words and actions still mean the same thing. Teaching this at a young age can prevent future disputes. If children know how to appropriatly use the internet and the pros and cons that go along with it will benefit and help develop their character on and offline.

It is crucial for students to understand that not everything on the web is true. It is very easy for even adults to get caught up in headlines and the drama. News Literacy is like the new world game of telephone, he-said-she-said and overall gossip. Students need to be savvy with technology not just when it comes to using it but when it comes to digesting the content.

Prior to all the research I honestly did not consider the fact students of today really need to be taught how to properly use the internet. There is a lot of things they must be aware of to stay safe. This ranges from trolls online in netiquette to being sure not to take any offensive headlines to personal until it can be considered credible. The internet is a new and exciting place for all of us and the students of today definetly need some help of things to look out for on the web and how to stay cautious.

News Literacy taught at a young age is very important. If you start off showing a student the appropriate way to find a reliable source they can then use that in the future and that is an important skill to develop. It is something they will be able to use all throughout school as well as after in other life situations. A student who knows how to find a reliable source will be always be a successful student.

With how broad and ever changing the internet is, it is just as important to teach children manners online as it is in real life. Students need to be able to grasp the concept of how life-like the internet is since they're being exposed to it so young. It is even difficult for adults to understand safety on the web and by teaching these values at a young age they are more conscious of the dangers as well as the seriousness of what goes on the web.

"526 people were asked to talk politics, the response tested American democracy."

This website is not a credible source. First, it is a commercial website, typically this means anything they say is in reflection of their ideas and point of views. It does not state who the people are or where they got the data from. Websites like this one has its own bias within the sentences which makes it unreliable.

This lesson is aimed at a 5th grade level. To start off I would have a basket full of website names on slips of paper. Each student will take turns reaching to pick a slip. Then they would read it to the class and together we would discuss whether it was reliable enough to use or not. We would do at least four or five examples of this to be sure the students are understanding the importance of website domains. After that I would hand out a sheet of paper with a short article or a couple of paragraphs from an article. Within the article there will be bits and pieces of fake news or red flags that will help the student determine if they should use that sentence or not. Once they are given the example of things to look out for, then on their own or in pairs they will have an article they need to derive certain pieces from that are considered red flags or are possible pieces of fake news. Once the students have completed this, we will have a group discussion to see what parts they thought were red flags and possibly some pieces they missed.

"Why study Literacy Education at Fredonia? According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, employment of instructional coordinators is projected to grow 7% from 2014 to 2024."

Just by looking at this sentence from the website you can conclude that yes, it is credible. Most investigation can always help. The URL ends in a EDU and the example text above states where they got the research from. Those are both key factors when looking for a credible source.

.com
Com is short or in reference to the idea of this website being commercial. Now, it isn't saying this information is all false but really with commercial sites nothing is guaranteed.  You might be getting "only part of the picture."

.edu
Edu is short for educational institution. Sites using this can range from kindergarten to higher education. Most often than not when it is from a department or research center at a educational institution, it can be considered credible.

.net
Net is short for network. You can find a lot of different websites under this domain. It acts as a catch-all for sites that don't fit into any of others. Information from these sites should be evaluated by others before taken too seriously.

.gov
Gov is short for government. When you come across a site with this domain it is a federal government site. All branches of the United States federal government use this domain. The information is considered to be from a credible source.

When on the internet the websites URL is very important when talking about reliability. You must be looking into not only the web address but the publisher as well. Not everything is credible and true on the internet! It's very important to understand that everything on the internet requires a magnify glass; we must be detectives to decide what is true on the internet, what is fake and be aware of the fact every publisher has their own personal biases. A lot of teachers like to use .net and .edu are both good sites but all things above must be considered as well!

News literacy in any form, such as print, the internet or on television, does the same thing as well as it goes along with the same goals. It is designed to help you learn how to judge whether information is accurate and reliable. News literacy helps the younger generations build critical thinking skills that will stick with them from then on.

What are some basic rules of Netiquette? 

# data[].attributes.body
Just because you are online does not mean no rules apply. Your behavior online should be no different than how you act in real life!
1. Do not be a bully! Sometimes its easier to forget what impact mean names and other verbal abuse has when it is "just online" but it is still wrong!
2. Be careful of plagiarism or copyrights because you do not own the rights to everything on the internet and can face serious legal consequences because it is basically stealing if you don't give credit when credit is due.
3. Check for grammar and any misspellings to be sure everything is clear as well as easily understood. If you cannot spell it - google it!
4. All post you put on the internet are public and on the internet forever! Be mindful of what you post and be safe about what information you put out there. You don't ever know who is on the internet and need to be conscious of possible strangers on the web!
5. It is very important to disconnect at times, never get too caught up in online life.

Etiquette is simply a code or policy of good behavior and manners expected within a group. Therefore, net etiquette is the basic rules expected of those who are using the internet.

Start by posing a discussion by asking students what they know about the internet, and ask about pros and cons on the board. This lesson is for specifically third grade.  Explain the importance of manners online and ask if anyone can think of certain times where they were upset online and ask how they handled it. After discussing, start the video. On BrainPOP there is a worksheet that should be printed out then to be handed to each students work on in partners, the worksheet has students match digital terms with the real-life situation. For example pairing a bully with a troll. Depending on the grade level the games on BrainPOP can give students a perspective on how old the internet is but also young at the same time. It should be done as together as a class because some questions can be elaborated and understood better when you are collaborating together. Finally, there is a quiz online they can review and then do a graded version. This lesson would be done best with each student on their own computer in a computer lab or even personal iPads. Once discussions were done in partners and as a class the students can play on different aspects of the unit such as the different games available that consider of running your own magazine and being a news feed defender. Everything is easily available and accessible with the link below.
