What is Digital Etiquette?

Digital Etiquette is a set of rules for how to behave

appropriately in a digital world, whether that be through texting, Emailing, or social networking sites.
Digital Etiquette is sometimes referred to as netiquette. Digital Etiquette not only covers the manners that should be included when using different forms of digital communication, but also includes information that refers when it is appropriate to use these forms of communication.

Why is this important?

We as teachers must set a good example for our students. This includes practicing correct digital etiquette. We must teach our students not only to be aware of this concept, but to also realize how their usage of technology affects others. By the end of this presentation participants will be able to answer the following: 1. Am I aware of how my usage of technology affects others?

2. How can I help others become more aware of the effects of their technology use?

Objectives: Participants will be aware of, and be able to teach, the rules of etiquette that exist with technology use. Learners will identify, explain, and teach the rules of etiquette that exist with technology use.

34 % While dining out, place their wireless phone on vibrate, 18 % turn the phone off, 11 % lower the ring volume and nine percent place the phone on silent. However, more than a quarter (28 %) says they make no changes to their phone when in a restaurant.

Most Americans keep their phone on when in public places of a more social nature (i.e. party/family celebration, sporting venue, public transit or retail environment), but turn their phone off when in public places of a professional, educational or cultural nature (i.e. business meetings, classrooms, hospitals, houses of worship or libraries).

Your Turn To Decide...

Scenario...
During her day at the beach, Stacy snapped many photos of her friends frolicking in the sand and water. Stacy's favorite photo was of Jessica and Darla burying each other on the beach. When Stacy got home later that night she could hardly wait upload her new photos to her Facebook account. This only took a minute or two, which left her plenty of time to write photo captions and to tag her pics. Some of the boys in her class came across the photos and began to make rude comments about Jessica and Darla. Although neither Jessica nor Darla have Facebook accounts, they became aware of what the boys had done and vowed their friendship with Stacy was over.

Scenario...
Jeremy was totally pumped about his new iPhone.This made Todd slightly jealous, but that wasn't enough to get in the way of asking Jeremy if he wanted to check out the latest movie. They arrived at the theatre and decided to share the cost of a large popcorn before they shuffled themselves through the crowd and into the best seats in the house. When the movie trailors began, Todd quietly switched his cellular phone to silent mode. Half an hour later, just when the movie was starting to pick up, the earsplitting ring of Jeremy's iPhone carried across the entire theatre. Jeremy scrambled to find his phone, which was hidden inside one his jacket pockets. Jeremy finally located his phone and proceeded to answer his call while exiting the theatre. The theatre door slammed loudly behind him.
