NetEtiquette ot Not
This informative web site provides the core rules of
netiquette as well as a multiple choice quiz to test the reader’s knowledge of
proper online behavior and actions. This
comprehensive site would be a beneficial introduction for anyone unsure of how
to interact in web based communication.
Upon completion of this program I hope to teach in an online environment
in which proper internet interactions would be a critical component of the
course. In creating a course syllabus, I
would include this type of information so that students could be more informed
prior to beginning interactions with one
another in an one line class. As Bradley
(2009) stated, netiquette includes the principles of good electronic
communication through computer conferencing essential due to a lack of visual cues that can often
cause information to be misinterpreted.
Digital Citizenship and Creative Content
This website requires the user to register, for free, to
access the curriculum units. Once
registered you may select a specific curriculum area as well as grade level
taught. The units cover topics that
protect both the user as well as the facilitator. What is most helpful is how the units explain
how to be a conscientious digital citizen.
The program addresses a variety of uses including music, videos,
writing, software, games, images, virtually anything that could be transmitted
via the internet is covered. This site
would be an essential incorporation as a professional development workshop for
staff as well as any internet user. Since the program is self-paced and
available online it is easily accessible, anywhere and anytime. I would include this as an introduction to
the course so that all stakeholders were aware of the responsibilities that are
associated with interacting, communicating, or sharing via the internet.

Hello Jane,
ReplyDeleteI really like Albion and the core rules of netiquette. I believe that netiquette is important and I used netiquette practices within all my classes that I teach. One of the reasons why I feel netiquette is so important is because you are not able to see that person face to face. Not to mention all communication that you have should be professional. An old rule of thumb I like to state to students- if you would not want your mom to read it then do not send it or post it.

DeleteNetiquette is something that needs to be taught so that everyone is aware of how to interact appropriately on the internet.
Jane,
ReplyDeleteThe websites that you chose to use with your students are good websites, I actually researched those two websites and I would use those websites with my students I teach in church as we are beginning to start a tutoring program. I believe that children and adult learners need the learner etiquette for the use of the internet.

People are always in the position to have to compete with others, and to learn is costly in a lot of environment. In the US unemployment has been high and it becomes cost prohibited sometimes for people to pursue their goals. The US does not have a reputation for valuing age as other countries do. As I sit in a public library right now, I see all older individuals accessing the internet, it allows free use of the computers. These are people that could just be sitting at home watching the TV, but they are here, and continuing to learn. Richardson states that schools used
