1. Recognize when to take breaks from the internet!
2. List and explain why it is a good idea to take breaks from the internet.
3. Practice internet balance and digital citizenship when online.
4. Compose a list of rules that one should follow while on the internet (in the classroom and with parents).
5. Recognize that one should not be mean to friends or anybody on the internet! 

Pre-Assessment:
  • Introduce the video by telling the students that we will be watching a video where we will be able to find a happy balance between time on the internet and hanging out with friends.
  •  Show the video (which is 1:42 seconds long) Here is the link for the video: https://youtu.be/ikzY4NQeR1U 

Activity:
Vocabulary words that we will learn:
Balance: Having equal weight or importance
Device: like a phone, laptop, or tablet that can connect to the internet
Ask students if they have ever used a tablet or laptop before and if so what did they do with it?

  • Start a discussion with the students about what they had learned through the video!
Questions I would ask my students would be:
  • What did you learn from the video? Why is the important?
sample answers:
- I learned that we need to take breaks so we could have more time to hang out with friends. It is nice to go outside and play tag.
- I learned that you should have a timer for how long you can play games.
  • Why should you take a break from the internet?
Sample Answers:
- To show that friends are more important than playing games.
- So you could play outside with your friends.
  • How would you feel if a friend was mean to you online? Would you feel the same way if it was in person? Why would you feel that way?
Sample Answers:
- I would feel sad because friends are supposed to be nice to each other. I would feel the same way if they did it in person. 
- I would feel angry because nobody should be treated that way. I would feel sad if they did it to me in person. 

  • hand out an activity sheet (that follows the video) and read instructions out loud to the students, and let them work on it as small groups. 
  • Collect the worksheet when done and ask students for their responses to the questions.


Closing:
  • reflect on what he had talked about 
  • After the lesson, send home a family activity in which the parents are then able to discuss their boundaries and rules on internet use.

Netiquette is more of the rules put in place in order to control a specific behavior while digital citizenship is the skills developed and knowledge gained in order to participate responsibly.

Netiquette and Digital Citizenship go hand and hand! You need to understand the rules and boundaries set by netiquette in order to gain knowledge and become a responsible digital citizen!

Your digital footprint includes everything you have ever posted or been tagged in online. Along with that, predators and hackers may be able to get your location through posts. Finally, any college you are trying to get into, or your future employer will typically look at your social media, and can see your digital footprint. By teaching students netiquette, we can save them from posting anything bad online, which will help their future self, and can help them now in the case of predator's and hackers.

]]> 2022-09-15 16:00:29 UTC https://padlet.com/paigeebrink/NetiquetteDigitalCitizenship/wish/2298574768 Ms.Weber's Reflection :) lmw2002210000 https://padlet.com/paigeebrink/NetiquetteDigitalCitizenship/wish/2298626727 It is important to be able to command oneself professionally on the Internet. Being able to respect other people on the internet, as well as follow the rules of digital citizenship and netiquette is very important. Students must learn at a young age what they can and cannot share on the internet or even with friends. An example of that would be learning to not share a password with someone even if they are your best friend. The Internet is forever, is a term that many use to show the importance of thinking before you post. I picked the lesson about balance on the Internet and showing interest in other activities like hanging out with friends because in our society technology is the main source of entertainment now. I want my students to understand that there is a whole world with opportunities and fun activities out there! One should not be just confined to their screens but learn about the environment around them. I know that many students today are growing up with shows like Cocomelon, and the term "iPad kids" has started coming up more and more often. Many parents have been giving their children iPads as a way to parent, which is how they coined the term "iPad Kids". Many shows like Cocomelon, which have many bright colors and quick cuts to keep children drawn in, are overstimulating and will later cause them to have more mental breakdowns. By being able to teach students to balance through the lesson, I hope, will show them that digital screen time, and thinking before posting are important and should be taken seriously. 

I never really considered how easy it is to teach children these skills. I always thought that these topics were supposed to be taught to older elementary students and middle school students but never really thought about starting to teach these lessons to Kindergarten students. Now realizing it is super important to start these lessons off at a younger age so they have heard these same rules their whole lives, and that it almost becomes second nature. 

The research I completed for this project confirmed teaching these lessons to children at a younger age. It helped me realize that everyone should learn these life lessons, which in turn strengthened my point of view about netiquette and digital citizenship. ]]> 2022-09-15 16:32:27 UTC https://padlet.com/paigeebrink/NetiquetteDigitalCitizenship/wish/2298626727 Ms. Brink's Reflection paigeebrink https://padlet.com/paigeebrink/NetiquetteDigitalCitizenship/wish/2298627118 I learned a lot about netiquette through this project, and I realized I knew a lot less about the Internet than I thought I did. I grew up in a time when the Internet was still small, and  it was not used by everyone. This assignment made me realize how important it is for students to learn how to be safe online, as children today are constantly online, especially after the lockdown with Covid-19. Even outside of doing school work, students are online playing video games or talking with friends, and it is important for them to realize that the Internet can be a dangerous place. 

Prior to doing this research I did not consider how many do's and don'ts were included in netiquette, as I was not taught them when I was younger. I was given an Instagram account when I was in 4th grade, and I would post whatever I wanted, without realizing that those posts would stay online forever, even after being deleted. I never considered how many do's and don'ts were required to have good netiquette, and I wish that I had been taught the information when i was younger. 

This research has confirmed my point of view that netiquette is important for young students to learn, and that learning good netiquette may save students from "bad people" online. After doing this research I have much more information to help teach my students good netiquette than I did prior, and it has only confirmed that I must teach my students about the dangers of being online. ]]> 2022-09-15 16:32:42 UTC https://padlet.com/paigeebrink/NetiquetteDigitalCitizenship/wish/2298627118
