Netiquette


Netiquette refers to internet etiquette. If we are to implement all these new technologies that we are learning in ICT in Reading, then we need to teach our students the proper way to interact with others online. There are behaviour rules to follow online just as if we were interacting with others physically. Students need to be taught netiquette and these rules need to be enforced by teachers in order to maintain disciplined online behaviour. This is especially important when using blogs and wikis and making comments.

I love the term netiquette, for many people use the web as a means of bashing and illtreating others. I have heard of student being involved in online hazing of other students. For example, posting insulting comments to their social networking page as a means of bullying. young people are also preyed upon by dangerous predators.
