Digital Etiquette Report Script

Good day. Today we are going to talk about Digital Etiquette.

For my presentation today I will tell you what digital etiquette is, what are the appropriate
examples, what are inappropriate examples, rules about digital etiquette, lessons/ tips about
digital etiquette

So what is digital etiquette?

Digital Etiquette or netiquette as it is sometimes called, is a basic set of rules you should follow
to make the Internet a better place for yourself and for others. It is also integrity or sense of
self-management, and general responsibility for your actions as well as yourself on the internet
and treating people like you would in real life. Some basic digital etiquette would be respecting
others, following the rules of the website you're using, or just being kind to others. This probably
sounds familiar and if you haven't caught on yet these are the ways you probably treat people in
real life, or at least how you're supposed to treat them. Also, it's about how you write messages
online; even if you didn't intend it to be mean and were only joking, some people can take it the
wrong way because the empathy or feelings can’t be transferred into the messages.

What are examples of digital etiquette?

Post only things you'd be ok with everyone you know seeing.
Treat others the way you want to be treated. This sounds pretty basic, but it's probably the one
piece of digital etiquette advice that is broken the most.
Keep your comments positive; be truthful, and polite.
Not texting during class.
Not answering the phone while you are talking to someone.
Not using offensive or inflammatory language.
Respecting people’s privacy

Inappropriate things to do online

Making jokes that could offend others or placing a joke on an existing thread that has upsetting
or distressing content would be considered inappropriate.
Ignoring people who need help. If someone asks you directly for help online, it would be deemed
bad netiquette to ignore their request for help.
Using all caps.
Posting inappropriate messages or media on social networks.
Cyber bullying.
Not allowing others to express themselves

Here are some Rules of Digital Etiquette

Use Respectful Language
Name-calling, cursing, expressing deliberately offensive opinions—if you wouldn't do it to the
face of anyone who might conceivably see what you write, don't write it. This goes for any social
media site, forum, chat room, or email message, even if you think it can't be traced back to you.
It can. And it's not just what you say, but how you say it. Either take the trouble to use the shift
key for capital letters, or write in all lower case, but don't use caps lock. Text in all caps is
generally perceived as yelling. Please don't forget to say please and thank you as appropriate.

Share With Discretion

Avoid sending naked sext pictures, drunk pictures, drug use pictures or unedited home video. If
you would have a problem with your boss, your parents, or your kids seeing it now, or at any
point in the future, don't post it online. The same goes for phone conversations in public places.
Just because you can't see the person you are talking to doesn't mean everyone around you can't
see and hear you.

Don't Exclude Others

If you have an in-joke to share with one other person or a small number of people in a larger
online group, send them a private message. Don't make everyone else feel left out by posting an
obscure comment to your Facebook status, forum, or Instagram story. The same goes for
laughing at texted or emailed jokes when you are in the presence of others. If you don't want to
share the joke, save it for later.

Some Lessons/Tips to know

1. Protect private information.

Whether it’s a photo their friend doesn’t want shared or the student’s own personal information,
it’s vital that people learn to protect private information when posting in public spaces. Here are
some informations that are considered private:
- Passwords
- Address
- Whereabouts
- Other personally identifiable information
- Embarrassing photos
- Betraying comments
- Brainstorm with your class to come up with other examples of private information and
discuss gray areas (e.g. Using your real name in class forums but a screen name in public
forums).

2. Skip the negativity.

Many people find it easy to be negative online, especially when hidden behind the anonymity of
a screen name. Avoid becoming part of the “Comments'' culture. Negative comments are just as
hurtful and destructive online as they are in person. Expressing one’s artistry, opinion, or
passions is a vulnerable position, and we should support each other, or at the very least, avoid
tearing one another down. The old maxim still applies in the digital space: If you can’t say
something nice, don’t say anything at all
3. Think twice before clicking “send.”
Most of us have had a moment where we fired off a snide email in haste, only to regret it later.
We’ve also sent emails we thought were harmless, only to realize our wording was misleading
and our intentions were misunderstood.
We should value slowing down and reviewing their communications before hitting “send.” If
they make it a habit to re-read what they’ve written, not only will they catch more of their
grammatical errors, but they may also catch themselves before sending something that sounds
inappropriate or misleading.
4. Exit means conversations.
Cyberbullying, unfortunately, exists online. We should feel empowered and encouraged to report
bullying situations they or their friends have encountered. We should also feel empowered to
leave conversations that make them feel hurt or uncomfortable. We do not have to remain in
conversations where someone has become unkind or intolerant toward them. In fact, the best
thing to do is to log off before any abuse can escalate.
5. Avoid sarcasm or dark humor.
Sarcasm can be a great way to make light of a situation or relate to other people, but
unfortunately, it does not translate well online. Sarcasm, dark humor, and other forms of irony
are highly dependent on tone and body language, and therefore, should be avoided in textual
communication. Too often, a sarcastic comment will be read as sincere and can lead to
misunderstandings. While online sarcasm can be tempting, no joke is worth the risk.
6. Be forgiving of others’ mistakes.
The more we communicate through text, the more we learn about each other’s grasp on grammar
and spelling. We’ve all known someone who revels in correcting other people’s mistakes. We are
no different — it can be tempting for more grammatically inclined kids to correct others to show
off their own skills or redirect an argument. When you do make corrections, use your best
judgment. Often a private message is the best avenue to deliver this type of constructive
feedback.
7. Keep the audience in mind.
What is appropriate for a one-to-one text message may not be appropriate for a group chat or
forum post to a teacher. It’s important to keep our audience in mind when crafting messages. For
example, even if your best friend is part of a class-wide group chat, it’s not appropriate to use an
inside joke, as most of the class will be excluded from its meaning. And when speaking to a
teacher, students should always adopt a more formal tone with complete sentences and respectful
language.
8. Let people know when you’re signing off.
Finally, just as we wouldn’t leave a party without saying goodbye, we should learn to announce
we are leaving if we’re involved in a real-time discussion. Failure to announce we’re signing off
can lead to confusion among the people we were speaking with, who may be left wondering
whether they said something to anger us or may continue talking, unaware the we have left.

you write in caps lock, people assume that you are yelling at them or are angry.

Just as there are rules of etiquette in real life, face-to-face encounters, there are also rules you
should follow while online

What is a positive or appropriate example of digital etiquette?

Post only things you'd be ok with everyone you know seeing. Treat others the way you want to
be treated. This sounds pretty basic, but it's probably the one piece of digital etiquette advice that
is broken the most. Keep your comments positive; be truthful, and polite.

1. Not texting during class

2. Not answering the phone while you are talking to someone
3. Not using offensive or inflammatory language

What is the most important rule of digital etiquette?

Be as Polite as You Are In Person

A key part of netiquette is only typing what you would be comfortable with saying to someone's
face. Hence being respectful and polite to others should be part of your communications online.

5 things to know about digital etiquette (manners)

1. Treat others how you want to be treated: This is the golden rule. Sometimes you need to
be reminded about good manners, even online. Make sure to remember private or
sensitive matters are best discussed one in one of the group chats. Make sure to be
inclusive and kind to others just as you would be in person.
 2. Keep your messages and posts positive and truthful: You need to check over all your
messages and posts to be sure they are not mean, sarcastic, negative, or rude. Avoid
posting anything that is not fact-based like rumors or gossip. Remember your words are
read by real people, all deserving of respectful and truthful information.
3. Double-check your messages or comments before you post or send: You need to slow
down and think about your posts, comments and emails before you send them. You need
to realize that once you press send or post, there is no way to take back your words.
Those words are out there for anyone to see and are now documented. You MUST read
over anything you are going to write to see if it can be misinterpreted or if it could come
off wrong. You should realize that coming off funny and sarcastic online is very hard –
the reader cannot see your facial expression or hear your tone of voice. Sometimes a
message that is meant to be funny does not come out that way.
4. Keep your own and your friend's personal things off the internet: Our world has a ton of
photos, texts, and videos that can be posted, copied forwarded, downloaded and altered
very easily. You have to ask yourself how you would feel if your personal pictures or
information were shared with those you didn’t want.
5. Avoid digital drama: Instant messaging, texting and posting comments online are all in
the moment communication but can last much longer than that. These words and
messages can be shared quickly but the words are now documented for all to see forever.
If you feel the conversation isn’t positive or nice you need to speak up or leave the
conversation
