Digital etiquette and responsible social interactions

What dies it mean to have digital etiquette and have responsible interactions??? Well "digital etiquette or netiquette as it is sometimes called, is a basic set of rules you should follow in order to make the internet better for others, and better for you" (nisd.net). Basically internet manners, do we as adults and teacher follow this for ourselves? We need to remember we are the influence and modals for our students/ children. If you think about it who is someone who influences you or you thought highly of? Didn't you do things like them or copy them? If so you know what it is important for us to be responsible and act appropriate for our students/ children even if we don't think they see us. Point being everything on the internet is assessable to just about anyone.  As for the social interactions wouldn't we make sure that we act appropriate in front of students/ children and parents? Then why portray ourselves any way else on the internet? Well if this didn't get you thinking maybe this site will or help you further understand this subject.DIGITAL ETIQUETTE Till the next post,

Global Digital Citizen-Safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology

When I first received this topic I thought to myself well I remember signing those agreements almost every year after about fifth grade. At the time I thought "well this is ridiculous" however now that  am older and becoming a teacher I know this is something we have to require of our students. I know now that students and even adults make poor choices on the internet. Whether it be inappropriate use or just going to facebook when your in the middle of class. This may seem harmless however it takes time from important teaching time. This also puts children in possible dangers to. So what does one of this agreements include for all the parents and students out there I have included a copy of what the agreements intel. TECH AGREEMENT!!! These agreements are not made to restrict students they are maybe to protect them from the dangers of the internet. Remember that school is suppose to be a safe learning place for young minds.
