Netiquette essential to teach

With winter break only four days away, I wanted to find a lesson on online etiquette or as it is now deemed—netiquette. I am motivated to be sure that my students are operating as good digital citizens since I know that they are respectful, kind ones in person. That being said, the difficulties with online interactions are heightened by the anonymity of interacting online. It is hard for kids to see the human side to texting, chatting, or emailing when they can’t see the person’s face. I am going to be starting to use the commonsense media lessons for grades 3-5 beginning in January as a way to build into my tech innovation the importance of digital literacy and common sense.
