Peer's Digital Citizenship, Ethics, and Netiquette


In investigating my peer’s views on technologies dealing with digital citizenship, ethics, and netiquette, I learned a bit from Kathy Spearman’s post located at http://mskitydon52.blogspot.com/#!/2012/12/week-7-netiquette.html:

"www.albion.com/netiquette/ offers core rules and descriptions of what is considered proper Internet etiquette. It also challenges the student to answer quiz questions in hypothetical situations


 www.studygs.net/netiquette.htm


Both of these websites can be used as instruction tools for students to help them learn the proper methods of communicating on the world wide web."


Also of interest is Revonne Lester’s blog about digital citizenship located at http://educationstation2012.blogspot.com/#!/2012/12/digital-world.html:

"http://vtisp.org/resources/vocabulary/digital-citizenship/ is also a great site. This site is a site dedicated to digital citizenship. It has each of the nine themes listed. When you choose a theme to click n to learn more, it gives you the definition f the theme, a prompt, and an exercise to do to further educate yourself on the learning. This site can be used by teachers or by teachers who are teaching teachers."

Both of these technologies can be incorporated into the learning environment I create but depending on the amount of experience of each group of learners.  The netiquette site can be incorporated as a refresher for my more experienced computer users or for an entire lesson for my beginners.  The same is the case with digital citizenship; it can either be something to touch on or an entire focus depending on the experience level of the learners.
