The school administrators should inform and take consent from parents about this practice and explain to them that this will help students to present their ideas correctly as well as expressing their opinions about social and educational issues. Netiquette practices should be taught and also assessed by encouraging students to subscribe to online blogs hosted on the school network. If you observe impolite behavior and disrespect among students, then you need to talk to them privately and counsel them since these behaviors could be a reflection of their online behavior.Ībove all, there needs to be a standard Netiquette policy to be followed at school. This observation will help you understand the way they communicate and correct them, if need, to facilitate their training in online communication. We need to observe how the students are interacting with each other in class and in the playground, for example, the way they address each other and the way they relate to each other. The way some students behave at home may not be the same at school and vice-versa. In some cases, you may know more about your students than their parents. Students, Parents, and educators are connected electronically, however, the discipline and manners we exercise in our communication may not be always be reflected in the same way in the student’s communication. The school represents a place for discipline, learning, innovation, improving strengths, and skillsets, therefore educators need to create awareness among students about the right and wrong practices about Internet usage and modern means of communication. Parents trust educators, to promote awareness about Netiquette practices to students. Internet-related crimes have become a new and rapidly growing genre of crime, or cybercrime, and teenagers and adults are accidentally or intentionally becoming victims or culprits. If there were no standard rules or Netiquette, then people will use the Internet as they wish, and this will result in serious problems.įollowing netiquette is important for everyone since the internet has become involved in almost every part of our lifes. The same principle applies on the internet where there must be some standard rules to be followed for using the Internet. The reason we have rules to govern us is to guide us to become better citizens and safeguard and promote the welfare of all people. The same thing will happen if there were no social and governing rules. If starting a new message, do NOT use the reply function, that will bury your message in the middle of the discussion of the message you replied to.Imagine if there were no traffic rules, what would happen people would drive as they wish will lead to chaos and accidents. Again, a good subject line is vital here (and helps in people searching for the message). Make your message easy to find for those that ARE interested. This allows people to skip the subjects they are not interested in easier. If you are replying to a message, keep the subject identical (unless you have good reason to change it) and use the reply button. Give it a good subject line that describes the topic. Make your post easy to skip for people not interested in it. Remember, once sent it can not be taken back. It is wise to stop and think about what you are writing before clicking send. The electronic medium can sometimes depersonalize exchanges, and we be tempted to say things that we would never think of doing face to face.
Remember that there is a person on the other side. With the large membership of the list, even costing everyone just a second has wasted over a hour of time. Take care to make you post easy for them to read and understand. When posting, think if you statement is important enough to make to the thousands of members of the list. YOU should also exhibit charity to others, to be slow to anger or take offense, and not assign to bad intentions that which may be accidental or unintended. They may well have a different background and assign a different meaning to a phrase than what you take it as, It is also YOUR responsibility to make a good faith effort to understand what someone else has said. There are thousands of people on the list, so without care, someone is apt to misunderstand things not stated clearly. Remember that humor may not reach everyone. Using words with loaded, shaded or twisted meanings is discouraged as people are prone to misunderstand things. It is YOUR responsibility to make a good faith effort to express yourself clearly so others are apt to understand the meaning to your statements. It is expected that uses of the list will follow the basic rules of on-line etiquette (called Netiquette), including the following:
