10. Why is digital etiquette important, especially to students?

11. Digital etiquette is extremely important now more than ever. Children are posting inappropriate pictures, videos, and comments that cause violence, negative attention, and legal actions. The reported cases of child rape have risen since the internet has become a main source of technology for children. This is due to a lack of digital etiquette. We, as parents, would be able to protect our children more if they used and understood digital etiquette.

14. Findings A random sample of 4,441 10 to 18 year old students from a large school district in the southern part of the United States were given a questionnaire based on their behavior and actions while on the internet. Based on the bar graph shown on the previous slide: 3.1% or 138 students have admitted to posting a mean or hurtful video online 5.2% or 231 students have admitted to threatening someone online 19.4% or 862 students have admitted to cyber bulling 6.8% or 302 students have admitted to spreading rumors online about someone Please keep in mind these findings are based on the students who were honest enough to answer the questions correctly. I anticipate the numbers would be even greater if all the students took the time to read and answer the questionnaire honestly.

17. Internet Crime Task Force Nets Several Arrests For Underage Solicitation One of the people arrested as part of the operation was surgeon Dr. Milton Slocum. Investigators say Slocum was arrested at Shreveport's Columbia Park. He arrived there to meet a teenage girl and view pornographic pictures. The 15-year-old girl he met online was really a Caddo Parish Sheriff's detective.

18. Man pleads guilty to trying to meet underage girls online Dubin was arrested in July of last year after Phoenix Police learned of his activity in two Internet chat rooms. Dubin had wanted to engage in a sexual relationship with a 17-year-old girl. He set up a meeting with the girl at a Valley business, and told her to bring along her 14- year-old friend. When Dubin arrived at the business he was arrested by police.

19. Facebook Still Has a Big Problem with Underage Users, and They Know It The bottom line seems to be that young kids are going to find a way onto Facebook. Facebook is currently powerless to stop it. The only real option seems to be to just let them in officially and try to give parents control over their experience on the site. You know if you can’t stop them, at least try to make it super safe.

20. Steps

21. Respect, Educate and Protect (REPs) We, as school professionals, should teach our students based on the REPs. According to Ribble (2013): The concept of REPs is a way to explain as well as teach the themes of digital citizenship. Each area encompasses three topics which should be taught beginning at the kindergarten level. When teaching these ideas the top theme from each group would be taught as one REP. For example the first REP would be: Etiquette, Communication and Rights/Responsibilities. This would continue through REPs two and three. By doing this all students will have covered the topics and everyone would understand the basic ideas of digital citizenship.

22. The REPs Respect Your Self/Respect Others Etiquette Access Law Educate Your Self/Connect with Others Communication Literacy Commerce

23. The REPs (cont.) Protect Your Self/Protect Others Rights and Responsibility Safety (Security) Health and Welfare

24. Examples of Good Digital Etiquette Not answering your phone during a conversation or meeting Posting appropriate pictures of yourself or someone who has given you permission to do so. Only visiting age appropriate websites Only chatting online with people you know. Disengaging from using vulgar language.

25. Examples of Bad Digital Etiquette Texting or answering your phone during a conversation or while in the classroom. Posting pictures, rather appropriate or inappropriate, of someone without their consent. Visiting websites that are not age appropriate. Engaging in chatting with someone you do not know.

26. Let’s Break it Down Respect Your Self/Respect Others A good way of helping the students understand this concept is by having them role play. Give them a scenario where they demonstrate good digital etiquette and also have them demonstrate that same scenario using bad digital etiquette. A class discussion should follow to identify the differences. After the discussion, the teacher should relate these scenarios to digital etiquette and citizenship.

27. Brainstorm Activity Now it’s your turn! Take two minutes to think of one scenario you could present in your own classroom. Please make sure your scenario could be easily related to something the students have a knowledge of.
