Digital Citizenship/netiquette requires individual responsibility to ensure effective and safe online experiences for all Internet users - especially young children.
     As the use of technology increases both in and out of the classroom and more children are being exposed to the Internet at a very young age, it is extremely important to teach students to practice netiquette immediately. Practicing netiquette is important for students because they must learn how to communicate in a respectful and positive manner online. Since there are expectations and obligations when navigating the Internet as a good digital citizen, students who learn and practice netiquette are less likely to make mistakes online.
     Practicing netiquette as a professional is crucial to maintain a positive and respectable position and reputation. Using proper grammar and language when communicating with fellow professionals online is extremely important. As a professional, it is especially important to give credit where credit is due by properly citing sources! 
     Practicing netiquette is also very important in my personal life because I would never want to jeopardize my own safety as well as the safety of my family, friends or peers by sharing private information. I always try to be conscious of what and how I communicate online. No matter the situation or online platform, I always try to be careful, respectful, polite and responsible. ]]> 2019-01-23 00:22:42 UTC https://padlet.com/danielled1239/Netiquette/wish/323270523 danielled1239 https://padlet.com/danielled1239/Netiquette/wish/323270697      Since you cannot physically see a person (or persons) receive and react to your online messages or posts behind a computer screen or device, this communication may not feel "real" or "serious." However, it is important to remember that you still have a human audience and that electronic words and behaviors are powerful. When you enter cyberspace, a lower standard of ethics, personal behavior or moral responsibility is not acceptable. I chose this netiquette/tip because ethics and laws still apply in cyberspace; just as they do in real life. In other words, cyberspace is a real world because our online posts/behaviors DO have real effects. 
     Since the effects of one's online actions or words are not exactly immediate or visible, it is easier to feel more inclined or capable to say or do things online without getting "caught" or "in trouble." However, one should not say or do anything online that they would not say or do in real life. The same moral, ethical and serious laws apply. 
     This netiquette is important to teach students because who you are online is a reflection of who you are in real life and there are still consequences for your online actions/behaviors. Before they are exposed to the power of the Internet, young children should learn that laws, as well as one's ethics and morals do not simply disappear online. The difference between right and wrong still exist in cyberspace and if you see something wrong, report it and get help - just like you would do in real life. Overall, we must teach students to be lawful and ethical digital citizens in order for them to be good digital citizens. ]]> 2019-01-23 00:24:02 UTC https://padlet.com/danielled1239/Netiquette/wish/323270697 danielled1239 https://padlet.com/danielled1239/Netiquette/wish/323270712      Properly citing your sources is a crucial practice of good Digital Citizenship/netiquette. When you use articles, images, reports, research, or any other online work that is not your own, you must reference the original author or owner. I chose this netiquette tip because one cannot simply take credit for someone else's work even if it has already been shared or published online. After all, copyright and anti-plagiarism laws enforce this requirement of giving credit where credit is due. 
     Young elementary school students must learn to recognize that the information they may find online is not their own. By acknowledging that they are using someone else's work or ideas, they are more inclined to credit the original owner/author. This netiquette practice teaches young students responsibility and respect for others' work. It emphasizes professionalism and credibility.]]> 2019-01-23 00:24:09 UTC https://padlet.com/danielled1239/Netiquette/wish/323270712 danielled1239 https://padlet.com/danielled1239/Netiquette/wish/323270726       Respect is one of the most important aspects of any form of communication. Treating others the way you want to be treated applies anytime, anywhere. I chose this netiquette tip because respect is the foundation for a safe, helpful and beneficial online environment. 
     It is important to teach students this netiquette tip because from the very moment they start using the Internet, they are immediately exposed to the public. It is important for students to acknowledge and respect different opinions published online without responding aggressively or viciously. (If you don't have anything nice to say, don't say it online!) It is also important that one's privacy and personal information is respected and protected. You should not share someone's personal information online - especially without permission!
     Respecting someone's authority/title (such as a teacher) as well as their feelings is a major key to effective and positive online communication. Language and style may have to be adjusted to properly address your audience in a respectful manner. For example, while a student may use casual language, slang or imperfect grammar or spelling online to communicate with their classmates or peers, that would not be acceptable when communicating with a teacher.
     It is also important for young students to learn to not only respect their teachers, classmates and peers online, but themselves as well. Certain things are not meant to be shared. Students must learn to respect and protect their own privacy, property, reputation, image and well being online. ]]> 2019-01-23 00:24:16 UTC https://padlet.com/danielled1239/Netiquette/wish/323270726 danielled1239 https://padlet.com/danielled1239/Netiquette/wish/323270751      This netiquette tip refers to the fact that nothing is truly private or confidential online. Your digital footprint does not simply disappear. "Delete" buttons are misleading because nothing is truly deleted from the Internet once it is posted or shared. Even if something is shared privately, chances are very high it can still be seen and sent to other people not intended to view it. I chose this netiquette tip because it is extremely important to be mindful and aware of what you post online. You must be careful posting things that can easily be misread, taken out of context or spread. 
     It is important to teach students this netiquette tip because they must be cautious and wary of posting (personal) information, inappropriate, hurtful or controversial words, opinions or items on the Internet. Unintended or unexpected audiences (including school administrators and teachers) have more access to a student's posts (especially on social media) than students may think. If you wouldn't want anyone or everyone to see your post, you probably shouldn't post it. 
     Young students should also learn that they cannot simply trust everyone on the Internet. Many people are not always who they seem to be online. Personal information, messages or posts should not be given freely to strangers online or posted publicly for the world to see. By adhering to this tip, students can remain safe and responsible on the Internet. ]]> 2019-01-23 00:24:27 UTC https://padlet.com/danielled1239/Netiquette/wish/323270751 danielled1239 https://padlet.com/danielled1239/Netiquette/wish/323270967      I will teach this netiquette tip to my future students by first encouraging my students to be mindful and emphasize the permanence of every online post. I will work with my students to create and discuss a list of qualities that make a post positive and effective as well as a list of questions to ask ourselves before we make a post online. I would make sure my students ask themselves: 
"Would I be okay with my parent/guardian or teacher seeing this?" 
"Is this appropriate to share with all my followers/friends/peers?"
"Is this post true, relevant or a positive representation of myself and/or others?"
"Is this post harmful or hurtful to myself or others?"]]> 2019-01-23 00:26:00 UTC https://padlet.com/danielled1239/Netiquette/wish/323270967 danielled1239 https://padlet.com/danielled1239/Netiquette/wish/323271021      I will teach my students how to cite their sources by first explaining the importance of referencing and crediting original authors and owners. I would compare plagiarism and lack of citing to someone stealing your favorite toy, game or anything else relevant and cherished by my students. By making this comparison, my students will (hopefully) realize the importance of citing their sources and being honorable digital citizens. After teaching my students the importance of citing their sources, I will provide them tools (such as citationmachine.net or informative reference sheets they can hold on to) to properly cite a variety of sources (articles, websites, images, videos, etc.) in a bibliography. I will also provide examples of properly cited sources as an additional guide/reference for my students to use as well as ask them to cite 2-3 different sources to practice. ]]> 2019-01-23 00:26:25 UTC https://padlet.com/danielled1239/Netiquette/wish/323271021 danielled1239 https://padlet.com/danielled1239/Netiquette/wish/325188803 Allen, C.
