Inspiration for Lesson: Upon receiving our topic, we googled proper online etiquette and were inspired by Youtube videos explaining online etiquette. We decided to create a Prezi presentation to show helpful Youtube videos, examples of proper and improper online etiquette using Twitter, and a link to a Glogster presentation. Ideally, teachers will be able to grasp the key parts of online etiquette and will be able to pass the information on to their students.
Journal Articles The article explains how to teach online etiquette by creating a safe digital environment through a school-based social network. As the article mentions, students are spending more and more time online, and it is important that school, as a place of learning, teaches students how to use proper etiquette online. Many times, improper etiquette occurs when people think their
messages or comments are private and unseen to outside scrutiny. In the articles example, students and teachers at Southwest Christian school in Fort Worth, Texas utilized a school-wide social network program in which they were taught how to create profiles and navigate the site using proper etiquette (Winn, 2012). The success of the system was rooted in the emphasis of digital etiquette. By making students accountable for what they post, they become more responsible online citizens. An example the article mentions, is an innocent middle-school students post about partying all night long. When a teacher brought her attention to this, the student was able to see the potential negative interpretation of her statement, and could alter her online wording appropriately (Winn, 2012). It is important that students learn the impact of their words on online media at a young age. Winn, M. R. (2012). Promote Digital Citizenship through School-Based Social Networking. Learning & Leading with Technology, 39(4), 10-13. This article focuses on the evolution and new rules of online etiquette. The important thing for teachers, as well as students, to realize is that different types of technology require different forms of etiquette (pg 57). Similar to any cultural phenomenon, there are norms to online etiquette that vary across community lines. For example, teachers can teach how a text message sent to a friend would be very different than an email sent to a principal. However, when posting things on the web, or on public websites, content can easily be accessed by anyone. The article believes the solution in creating a better online community is through moderators and citizen regulation online. Teachers, therefore, have the power to create a better online community by teaching students and serving as an example. Preece, J. (2004). Etiquette Online: from Nice to Necessary. Communications of the ACM, 47(4), 56-61.
