Digital Etiquette

Digital Etiquette refers to electronic standards of conduct or procedures and has to do with the process of thinking about others when using digital devices. Teachers can include Digital Etiquette as part of the classroom rules or academic goals. Whether in the classroom or online, being aware of others is an important idea for everyone.

Examples of Appropriate Digital Etiquette

• Turning cell phone ringers to vibrate or silent when in public areas.

• Keeping cell phone conversations private by moving 10-20 feet away from others and speaking with a soft voice.

• Offering to share technology with others.

• Inform adults of misuse of technology (bullying).

Please be considerate of others by showing respect!
