Why is it important? pirojm34 https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/186583330 Netiquette is the combination of two words 'internet' and 'etiquette'. In other words, it is the proper way on how to act online. It is knowing how to have good manners on the web and how to express them. Ultimately, netiquette is important because the internet is non-verbal.

Professionalism carlynicoleacq https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/186587073 When writing something online its important to use proper grammar, spelling and punctuation.

NO CAPS! sicidc46 https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/190397271 Don't type in all caps: When a person types in all caps, they can come across to others as yelling. Putting one word in all caps is better than an entire sentence. You might know what you are talking about but people on the opposite side of other computer screens could think something very different.  ]]> 2017-09-23 13:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/190397271 #5 Negative Behavior sicidc46 https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/190397797 Negative behavior online: If there is negative behavior online, you do not always have to respond to it. It is best to stay away from that type of behavior and to not engage in it at all. There are consequences that go along with negative behavior online. ]]> 2017-09-23 13:21:31 UTC https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/190397797 #6 Cyberspace sicidc46 https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/190398976 Know where you are in cyberspace: There are things that are allowed in some places on the internet but not allowed in others. Netiquette is different in certain places on the internet. If you are new to a site, don’t just jump into the conversations; take a look around the site to figure out how the chats are and what is acceptable and what is not. ]]> 2017-09-23 13:27:45 UTC https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/190398976 sicidc46 https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/190400188 2017-09-23 13:33:19 UTC https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/190400188 What is CIPA? sicidc46 https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/190405717 CIPA stands for Children's Internet Protection Act. This came into effect on April 20th, 2001. This blocks harmful sites on school and library computers that students would be able to access other places.

One of the original intentions of the internet was so individuals can share ideas with one another. In the same manner, if someone expresses an idea that you do not agree with, respond professionally and kindly explain why you disagree. Do not be afraid of communicating your ideas because everyone has something to offer.

Students must know that communicating online isn't always as clear as speaking to someone in person. They also must be informed that not expressing proper netiquette has a lot of possible consequences. If educators begin demonstrating this early on, students will be aware with how to handle poor netiquette situations in the future. ]]> 2017-09-25 16:33:08 UTC https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/190915918 Netiquette Video pirojm34 https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/190931420 This video visually demonstrates how to behave online including netiquette rules.]]> 2017-09-25 17:01:08 UTC https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/190931420 What is Digital Law? pirojm34 https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/190944671 Also known as the "law" of the internet, digital law is the act of taking responsibility for all actions electronically. Unfortunately, many individuals online are not aware that they are breaking the digital law. Some examples include, downloading music illegally, hacking, identity theft, and pirating software.

Netiquette is something that everyone needs to be aware of. If it is taught at a young age, it will be carried on throughout their life. The internet is much bigger than it has ever been in the past. Many children revolve their lives around the internet. Since children are using the internet at such a young age, it is good for them to know what netiquette is and why it is important. Teachers should take the time to teach this to their students. I found that there are many rules that go along with netiquette and that are not difficult to follow. If students are made aware of what the rules are, there will be a better chance that they will follow them.

I feel as a future educator it is our job to make sure our students know what their rights are over the internet. I think that digital law is a very important component under legal issues. I always hear about these issues on the news, and the only way to try and put a stop to it is by teaching students about it. Kids today are surrounded by electronics and if no one has taught them about digital law, they are probably breaking the law. I also think that CIPA is important because it blocks students from viewing inappropriate content. ]]> 2017-09-25 18:46:25 UTC https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/190989369 Jennifer's Legal Issues Reflection pirojm34 https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/191010112 Although the internet has a lot of great spaces to access valuable information, there are also parts that are more harmful than helpful. As a result, students must be informed on what is taking it too far on the internet. Students should be told that it is very easy to break the digital law without realizing it. Additionally, children should be educated on the consequences of intentionally breaking the law such as hacking and identity theft. CIPA is an effective way to ensure that students are behaving appropriately online at school, however it must be embedded that good behavior should be executed all of the time.]]> 2017-09-25 19:33:33 UTC https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/191010112 Carly's Netiquette Reflection carlynicoleacq https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/191041714 In our current society, the internet plays a major role in our day to day life. So, it is imperative to educate children at a young age the importance of using proper behavior on the internet. This will help make the internet a safe place for everyone. The more teachers that take the time to educate children at a young age the more likely netiquette will be instilled into their day to day use as they grow into adults.

This is the 21st generation and electronics are what kids are growing up with. They need to know how to use the internet the proper way. If students don’t know how to act online, there is a good chance that they are going to misbehave online. By teaching what netiquette is, the students will know how to act online, and will be able to carry that skill with them throughout life. Legal issues are another big component of the internet. These are the laws of the internet. Students should be taking responsibility of their actions. Many students don’t know what digital law is and are most likely breaking the law. By teaching them, they will be aware of what is allowed and what isn’t. ]]> 2017-09-26 00:00:36 UTC https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/191059867 Carly and Jennifer's Netiquette Lesson Plan carlynicoleacq https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/191063082 An effective way for students to understand what netiquette is and how to determine what improper netiquette is would be to see it first hand. Therefore, for this lesson students would examine a flame war and propose ways in which it could've been prevented, and rewrite the conversation using proper netiquette. Below is an example of the conversation students would receive. ]]> 2017-09-26 00:29:04 UTC https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/191063082 Attribution and Plagiarism carlynicoleacq https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/191068453 What is attribution? 

            Attribution is when you credit a source that you quoted or cited. Attribution allows the reader to see the original source of information. Attribution should include the link (URL) so the reader can see the original work. 

Why is attribution important? 

            Attribution is important because it gives credit to the source of the original information. Without giving credit to the correct source it is referred to intellectual dishonesty or otherwise known as, plagiarism.

When I was in school, I remember learning about cyberbullying, but I certainly never heard the term "netiquette". Although this may have been fine then, it is not now because technology is only having a bigger impact on people's lives each and every day. As a future teacher, I will ensure that my students are practicing good netiquette and that they know the consequences if they do not. Further, I want my students to really think about what they are posting and how it can negatively effect others. On the other hand, I also want my students to understand that they can share insightful ideas that can actually hinder learning for other individuals.]]> 2017-09-26 01:41:56 UTC https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/191072750 CIPA Relationship with Schools carlynicoleacq https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/191073230  CIPA has a direct relationship to schools and children. The school is given the right to block inappropriate matter on the internet. This allows for the school to provide a safe environment for students to search for information while in school. ]]> 2017-09-26 01:45:39 UTC https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/191073230 Identity Theft carlynicoleacq https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/191074224 Identity theft is when someone steals your personal information. Typically, someone does this for a financial gain. However, identity theft can be as simple as stealing someones login information for a personal account. There are varying levels of identity theft but all are illegal and will have negative consequences. ]]> 2017-09-26 01:53:21 UTC https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/191074224 Digital law’s relationship to children carlynicoleacq https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/191075175 Digital laws have a direct impact on children. This is due to the laws giving the children a safe experience on the internet. Without the laws there would be a lot more issues that could have harmful consequences on children.

On the other hand, there is also a lot of aspects of the internet that are harmful to children.  This is why children need to be made aware of the negative consequences of breaking digital law. Another aspect of this is the fact that some children may not even know that what they are doing on the internet at home is inappropriate of wrong. For example, streaming an online movie, or illegally downloading music. By teaching children what breaking the law is online is will help them be aware of what they are doing to make the internet a safe environment for for everyone.

For the lesson, the teacher would give a brief presentation on what legal issues are and all of the consequences of acting in an inappropriate way on the internet. Once the teacher has given a short overview the teacher will ask the class a series of scenarios and ask the students how they wound handle a situation. 

An example of this would be 
"Is downloading free music an example of breaking digital law?" 

If the question answered the question correctly they move on to the next student.

While researching the topic I came across different aspects on this topic that I had no idea about. For example, I always use caps when I am talking on the internet or texting. I never imagined that people would take that as me yelling or being angry. This not only taught me that I knew little about the topic but it also showed me that a lot of people probably know little about the topic. After this project I know what an emphasis I need to make on the different aspects of acting on the internet and what the consequences are for doing inappropriate things on the internet. By showing kids at a young age what can happen, hopefully, it will decrease the amount of cyber bullying and there will be an increased amount of respect towards other peoples perspectives on the internet. ]]> 2017-09-26 02:42:58 UTC https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/191080767 Digital Law Video pirojm34 https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/191083869 This video demonstrates what digital law is. ]]> 2017-09-26 03:07:51 UTC https://padlet.com/pirojm34/Netiquette/wish/191083869
