I never considered the exact definitions of netiquette and digital citizenship. I also never knew what they were exactly. I heard of them before but never knew what they were. When I learned about it in school, they always just called it internet safety. I also never knew how important they were to learn about. Especially now with all the social media that is out now it is important to learn the proper way to act online.

The research I did on netiquette and digital citizenship has strengthened my viewpoint on the topics. This is because I did not realize the importance of teaching netiquette and digital citizenship in the classroom. I never realized there was so many dos and don’ts of them. Even if some of them seemed like common sense a lot of people still do the "don'ts" of netiquette and digital citizenship all the time. As a teacher it is important students know how to interact online. This is because I want my students to be kind and respectful when online and I don't want them to ever hurt someone by accident when they didn't know the rules.
