Make Use of Netiquette
Be courteous and respectful when communicating with others online. It’s best to think about and use “netiquette.” Netiquette can be defined as rules for online communication (Aranda, 2007). Communication online is done on a variety of platforms, from social networks to email, and students must understand the different rules for each mode of communication. Online netiquette must be addressed in today’s classrooms. Teachers should allow learners to practice netiquette by providing them opportunities to communicate online via email, blogs, social networks, etc. This will allow for opportunities to model netiquette.
The following are accepted norms when using communication technologies:
Be aware of your audience
Respect other’s privacy
Apply real-world rules - be nice; use proper writing style
Do not send unsolicited emails
Avoid personal attacks
Learn the rules of the community
Refrain from profanity
Don’t use electronic devices while engaging in face-to-face interaction
(as cited in Aranda, 2007).
Please use these norms in our classroom to empower our students to practice netiquette.
