1. Inappropriate jokes: While you make find the joke that you are making funny you need to stop and make sure that your joke isn't offensive and doesn't include content that can come off as inappropriate.

2. SHOUT!:
Try to avoid writing words and sentences in capital letters. This is pretty much the same as screaming in one ear.

3. Spamming:
While you may want your message to be seen and possibly go viral it is in your best interest to not spam and send your post multiple times. Spamming behavior has the possibility to get you banned from social media platforms as well as messaging people within the platform that you are using.

4. Arguing with people:
Commenting on messages can make it easy for your thoughts and opinions to get the best of you but you need to be careful that the thoughts that you are putting out there are not going to cause controversy and possibly start an argument between you and another person. It is ok to have differing opinions than others but you need to make sure that you keep it in nice terms.

Prior to this assignment I had some what of an idea what Netiquette was. I made the connection of it being network etiquette when I saw the word because I have heard it before. I knew a little bit about what Netiquette was but not too much. When I first received this project I was a little bit stressed out. There were so many parts to it and I had a little bit of trouble focusing all my ideas into a cohesive project. After doing a bunch of research and watching videos and learning about Netiquette I was able to focus my thinking and thoughts and create a project I am very proud of. This project made me really think. I thought about how I text and post online and thought about if I made posts that follow the Netiquette guidelines. Another thing I thought about was what I read in one of the articles saying that "Almost two thirds of children have had a negative experience online and 20 percent feel badly about something they have done online". This made me feel very upset and uncomfortable. Thinking about how many children have been hurt or upset by something someone does behind a screen is really a hard pill to swallow. So many children have been hurt by social media and I started to wonder if anyone has felt upset by something I texted or posted. I don't think I have ever posted or texted something that could have hurt anyone but I do not always follow all of the rules so maybe there was a time. From this project I am definitely more aware of what I am saying when I type so that my point is clear and there is no miscommunication. I feel that Netiquette is definitely something that should be in a schools curriculum. I did not start learning about internet safety until middle school and by that point I had already had a phone. Netiquette, especially now with everything being online and children having phones and iPads younger, children should be exposed to rules and guidelines of Netiquette in school.

Something I did not consider prior to doing this assignment was how I wrote online. Was what I write, text, and post negatively impacting someone else and I was not realizing it? Ever since starting this project I have been rereading texts and focusing on social media to make sure nothing I say can be taken out of context and possibly hurt someone else. I hope nothing I have ever said online has hurt anyone else but I am now moving forward to make sure that does not happen. I will now pay attention to my writing and my make sure I use my Netiquette rules to make sure I write exactly what I mean.

My research has strengthened my thoughts that technology is extremely powerful. The internet is forever and I think some people forget that and believe that things can be deleted but they cannot. Words are extremely powerful and they have the ability to hurt people. People think that because they are behind a screen they can say whatever they want however, this is no true. The internet saves everything. Even when it is deleted you can always find it again and the things you say can effect others and can effect you.

The first day that this project was being introduced to us I had not a clue of what Netiquette was and what it meant. It was a term that I had never been exposed to in my past. I also had never heard of Padlet or what it could do. I would be lying if I didn’t say that at first, I was super stressed about this project and had no clue on how to start. After seeing some examples and having a conversation about what exactly Netiquette was, I started to feel more at ease. Since completing the project I was about to take away some thoughts regarding Netiquette. Once I began researching it became clear to me that in fact, I did know what Netiquette was I just had never heard of the term before. I remembered that in elementary in computer class, we were taught some of the rules that are included in Netiquette. Such things as don’t use caps, don’t say a joke that you think may hurt someone, and thinking about what you are going to post before hitting upload. I also knew to not spam as well as refrain from getting into arguments with others. One major thought that I had while doing this project was “why don’t all families take time to teach their kids about proper netiquette?” I know for myself when it was time for me and my brother to get technology my parents had sat us down and talked to us about the rules and what we should and should not do when on the internet. I feel as though if families took the time to educate their kids about acting properly on the internet it will in the long run prevent any issues from happening. I also think that one thing that can be done in a school setting is to maybe have a yearly Netiquette assembly where all grades would go and learn about it and the rights and wrongs. I remember in elementary school once a year we would have a cyberbully assembly where they would tell us the harms of cyberbullying and the consequences it could lead to. Overall, I ended up knowing more about netiquette than my original thoughts at the beginning of the project.

There were two things that I had not considered prior to doing my research for this project. The thing that I had not considered before starting was what my netiquette was like. Although I know how to act respectfully and properly, I never considered if there were ever moments where I may have exhibited poor netiquette. I am sure there have been moments when I have spammed someone to get their attention and I’m sure one of those messages probably was written in all caps as well. That was not good netiquette of me looking back on it now. The other thing that I had not considered prior to research was how important netiquette is today since with the pandemic most modes of learning takes place on the internet. Since some schools are participating in virtual learning it never hit me at first how important netiquette is. When I was looking for material a lot of it was from recent and dealt with how to teach students proper netiquette. Even when the pandemic is over, I am going to make it a goal of mine to teach a lesson on netiquette so then whenever I do incorporate the use of technology/internet into my teaching my students will know the rights and wrongs of how to act when behind a screen.

My research has confirmed and strengthened my thoughts/believes that when it comes to using technology. It is very important to make sure that you are showing the internet the correct version of yourself and not portraying someone you aren’t. Another thing that my research has confirmed is that you need to be aware of your words and actions when participating on the internet. It has also strengthened my belief that I need to make sure to teach netiquette in the future to the students so that like me they can understand the importance of it.

Pre-lesson:
Before the lesson begins I will be asking the students what they think Netiquette is. We will be using context clues to try and figure out what Netiquette is and what it could possibly means as a group. A few examples of context clues would be words, pictures, and videos. I will also be handing out a sheet of paper and markers for the activity part of the lesson.

Activity:
For our activity, we will be watching the BrainPOP Digital Etiquette video first. We will have paper and colored pencils/ markets and write down some key words or pictures of Netiquette and what are good tips to keep in mind when making posts. After the video we will be writing our own posts following the Netiquette guidelines. Each student will write a post about their plans for the weekend.

Post-Activity:
After creating their own posts, the students will read their posts to the class and as a class we will go through it and talk about if the post follows the Netiquette rules. We will make edits and help our friends make the best possible posts. Once we have gone through all of the posts and make any necessary changes to fit the Netiquette guidelines, we are going to post them on to the classroom page.

Closing:
To close the lesson the students are going to comment on the posts by themselves. Each student will have to comment on another students post about their weekend plans. The comment can be about anything but they will have to follow the guidelines.

Lesson: How To Communicate Properly Online

Objectives:
-Students will know why the rules of conduct are important when communicating online
-Students will learn the rules they should keep in mind when online
-Students will learn what things to avoid
-Students will learn how to convey emotions in an online message

Pre-lesson:
Before I begin with the lesson, I will give each student a sheet of paper and it will be a KWL chart (Know, What, Learn). This will let me get an understanding of what they know prior to the activity. We will also have a brief conversation on what netiquette is and the rules and what to avoid.

Activity:
I will break the class up into pairs of two. Each person in the pair is going to play a different role. One person is gonna be showing bad netiquette and pretend to send a bad Netiquette post to their partner. The other partner will then take that post and correct it to show the proper way of how to communicate on the internet and what good Netiquette looks like. I will set aside some time for them to talk about how this example of bad netiquette made them feel and how it is essential to act properly when engaging in online conversations.

Post-Activity:
Once they are done with the activity I will bring the class back together as a whole and each group will share their findings and have a meaningful discussion on why Netiquette is important. I will also set aside a couple of minutes to answer any questions that my students still have after learning the lesson and completing the activity.

Closing:
To wrap up this lesson I will ask the students for homework to write a one-page journal entry on what they took away from this lesson and how they will communicate on the internet properly and safely and to include some of the information that they learned from that day's lesson.

1. Check before you click:
Before you click post or submit on anything you should double-check that you are saying what you want to say and that what you are saying will not hurt anyone. You should also make sure that the content of your message is clear and that nothing in it will become confusing for the recipient.

2. Practice the Golden Rule:
When being online it is important to follow the golden rule which is "do unto others as you would have them do unto you". You need to make sure that at all times you are treating people on the internet the way that you would want to be treated.

3. Use of Good Grammar:
When posting anything online you should make sure that your post is free of typos and poor grammar. It could reflect on you negatively if your posts are filled with errors.

4. Respect people's privacy:
You should never give out another person's private information or photos unless you have their permission. This example of bad netiquette could lead one to accuse of cyberbullying.

Why is Netiquette important for children?

# data[].attributes.body
Netiquette is important in children's lives. A lot of children have experienced negative behavior online. "Almost two thirds of children have had a negative experience online and 20 percent feel badly about something they have done online." We should be teaching netiquette rules and examples to children starting at young ages so that the number of children who experience negative behavior decreases and hopefully can get very close to zero.

Netiquette is important because most online communication is nonverbal. It mainly consists of reading something that someone has already typed and another person deciding to respond back to it and get the conversation going that way. Making sure that one has good netiquette will help internet users work on having positive online relationships as well as having a positive reputation and showing the internet who you are and not leaving any opportunity for someone to characterize you in a different way than you had hoped. A major reason why netiquette is important is that if something is wrongly said it could lead to it being considered cyberbullying. Cyberbullying is something that needs to be prevented at all costs. So before you hit send, post, upload you should think about taking a minute and stopping and thinking “is what I am about to put on the internet safe, appropriate, free of errors, as wells as free of causing any issues between other users?”
