Keep Calm and Have Some Netiquette! by Megan Joseph https://padlet.com/meganjoseph1219/5wqcijk7jg4c Megan Joseph - September 12th, 2017- Tuesday's Class en-us 2017-09-05 23:41:11 UTC 2023-01-20 08:57:47 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet-assets.s3.amazonaws.com/icons/Apple.png What is Netiquette? meganjoseph1219 https://padlet.com/meganjoseph1219/5wqcijk7jg4c/wish/186100554 - Network Etiquette or more simply put "Netiquette" is a set of guidelines that should be followed when on the Internet. Whether you are new to the cyberspace world or you are a veteran, you should always remember the goal is to make friends, not enemies. 
- Practicing netiquette is important because it's difficult to know the meaning behind people's words when they are said online. Following simple rules that keep your posts positive and clear, can make for an easy-going Internet experience for both you and your followers.
- For students and teachers, having good netiquette allows technology use in the classroom to run smoothly and will also allow for more fun activities, with a little more freedom, to be used. Following these netiquette guidelines won't only save yourself, but others too!

Not everyone will understand your sarcasm or know that you weren't trying to be rude on purpose. It is important to remember to reread your posts before hitting send. It won't hurt to change some words around and turn your negative language into positive language.
- Checking for spelling mistakes and grammar errors is always important too. Whether it's the end punctuation or a much needed comma to change a post from a scary thought to a funny joke, double checking to make sure you're sending the right message is always a good idea. Sometimes we get so caught up in all the excitement about being online, that we forget there are real people on the other side reading our posts.
- It's important as a future teacher to understand that students will be on the Internet all the time and they may not know the proper way to post online. It's our job to show them the way and to give them tips on how to make and keep friends online. By reminding students to "Double Check so it's Not a Wreck" will prevent their posts from rubbing others the wrong way or coming off in a negative way that wasn't meant to happen. Something that they may think is harmless, could be offensive to others. It's always a good idea to proof read your posts and make sure they are not misleading or confusing. Teachers always tell students to proof read essays, so teaching students to proof read their posts online, whether it's for spelling, punctuation or word choice, has the same value. ]]> 2017-09-09 21:26:28 UTC https://padlet.com/meganjoseph1219/5wqcijk7jg4c/wish/186108017 But first, Take a Chill Pill. meganjoseph1219 https://padlet.com/meganjoseph1219/5wqcijk7jg4c/wish/186108564 - One of the worst things we can do online is reply to a post when we're angry. Before saying something you will probably regret the second you hit send, step back and take a chill pill. Calming down before posting can save both you and your followers from a big mess later on. No one wants to feel singled out or like they're being targeted for something they said, especially if it is their own opinion. If something bothers you, make sure you're level-headed before replying and that you know what you're saying isn't offensive or a snide comment in response to something that made you upset.
- Knowing when not to post is just as important as knowing when to post. I think teaching students that sometimes taking a chill pill and having a second to cool down, can really benefit them in the end. Posting in anger will never lead to something good and most of the time, will lead to regret. That chill pill may give you just the right amount of time to adjust your tone and post something that won't come back to haunt you!

- Making sure students understand that posting on the Internet when they are angry could turn out very bad in the end, is important. I would take my students through a mock trial of this type of post. I would start with a status that made me angry and then, without thinking, I would reply right away. Eventually my class would see the backlash from the post and how my negative comment did not help, even though in the moment when I posted it, it seemed like a good idea. They would see how posting in anger is never a good choice and usually leads to regret. It's one thing to read a controversial post, but adding to it with another angry line, is not proper netiquette. I would make sure my students understood that taking a chill pill could relieve a lot of stress and regret later on. ]]> 2017-09-09 21:41:18 UTC https://padlet.com/meganjoseph1219/5wqcijk7jg4c/wish/186108564 The Power of Privacy meganjoseph1219 https://padlet.com/meganjoseph1219/5wqcijk7jg4c/wish/186109560 - Would you want someone going through your personal information? No! So you shouldn't go through theirs! Knowing the power of privacy can save people from crossing the line and sharing information that was never meant to be shared. 
- Along with going through other people's things, posting about someone without their consent is just as bad. Whether it is sharing something they said or sending their contact information to someone else, not asking permission is invading that person's privacy and that's a big netiquette No-No. 
- For students who are just starting out in the cyberspace world, they may not see the power in privacy. It is the job of their teacher to explain that asking permission to share things of others, is another way to keep the internet a safe place. Reminding students to always log off of their accounts when they are done using them, to never reply to spam messages and to never give their passwords out, can help protect their privacy as well. ]]> 2017-09-09 22:07:00 UTC https://padlet.com/meganjoseph1219/5wqcijk7jg4c/wish/186109560 #GoldenRuleForever meganjoseph1219 https://padlet.com/meganjoseph1219/5wqcijk7jg4c/wish/186111411 - One of the first things students are taught is "treat others the way you want to be treated" also known as the Golden Rule. Well, this rule applies not only in person, but online too. Don't post something online if you wouldn't say it to someone in person. Being mindful of what you're posting is exactly the same as watching what you say when you're having a conversation face-to-face with someone. 
- Just because you are on a computer, does not mean you get to hide behind the screen and say mean things. Most people find it difficult to insult someone in real life, so you should follow the same rule while online. Follow the Golden Rule and treat others how you want to be treated.
- It is important for teachers to realize that students may think it is okay to be hurtful because no one can physically see them; in some cases, their posts could even be anonymous. But, just because it's cyberspace, does not mean students have the right to treat others poorly. The Golden Rule is just as important online as it is offline.

- Teaching the netiquette Golden Rule to students goes hand-in-hand with teaching the Golden Rule offline. I would start by making sure my students understood the golden Rule and were practicing it offline before incorporating it into their netiquette lessons. Exactly how they treat their classmates during recess or during math class should be the same way they treat their friends online. I would split my class into two groups and have one group "make fun" of the other group. Then I would let each group talk about how what they did, affected them and how they thought it affected the other group too.  Knowing that the same actions and responses from the activity could appear online, my students would realize that treating others the way they want to be treated is just as important on the Internet as it is off. ]]> 2017-09-09 22:46:11 UTC https://padlet.com/meganjoseph1219/5wqcijk7jg4c/wish/186111411 An Overview of Netiquette meganjoseph1219 https://padlet.com/meganjoseph1219/5wqcijk7jg4c/wish/186120535 -This video shows how easy it is to learn tips and tricks on how to be smart on the internet.
