Digital Etiquette and Responsible Social Interactions
Having responsible social interactions means not cyberbullying. Many young people, including some of my future students, will be guilty of bullying someone over the Internet. Although to some it may not seem like a big deal, a lot of children and teenagers take their own life because of what others say to them over the Internet and social media. Nowadays, younger and younger children are getting involved in social media and I feel that they do not necessarily belong on this type of communication yet. In my future classroom, I will be sure to teach my students about being responsible on the Internet. I think that this could fall under hidden curriculum because it is not something that needs to be taught in school but should be taught to the younger generations since it is apart of their everyday life and will be forever. I think that teaching older grades about children and teenagers who have taken their own lives because of cyberbullying would be a great way to get the message across. Bullying in person or online is not acceptable.
Digital etiquette is basic rules that everyone should follow. It is basically treating others with respect and yourself with respect while online. You should respect others online as you would treat them in person. As a future teacher, this is a very important to teach your students while they use computers. This connects to having responsible social interactions and cyberbullying. If you do not have appropriate digital etiquette, this can hurt others and potentially hurt others in the long run. Below I have attached a link that describes what digital etiquette is and how you should treat others while online. It is a better visual than what I can type here for you!
