                    A code of conduct for life online/The social

Some of the Basics of Netiquette:

CHAT ROOMS AND ONLINE SAFETY









Annotated Bibliography:


Stanley, Holtage. N.p.. Web. 29 Sep 2013. http://youtu.be/Ln-2m3xAHr8. This video was made on
            Nov. 24 2010 by A man named Stanley from Internet Safety.com. Stanley created a profile as
            a 13 year old girl in a kids chat room to show the dangers of predators. He got an invite  from
            a "BigMan 234" who said he was 25 years old and a construction worker. Stanley said that    
             private conversations in chat rooms are the first steps to children/students being subject to
             predators. Suggests enabling "Safe eyes" to block chat rooms. 

Reflection:
  • I would look into more information on different programs to block chat rooms.
  • I would be involved, ask questions
  • I would Educate

                 www.edutopia.org/ - 57k . An Article about behaving oneself online. Some students not only 
                 need internet tools but also lessons on internet behavior. Schools in Virginia requires internet
                 safety lessons. Texas/Illinois have passed laws encouraging them. Many educators are
                 working to teach Netiquette.  Netiquette are the rules of etiquette that apply when
                 communicatiing over the computer networks/internet.


    Reflection:

    • I looked into other school district policies and all of the ones that I checked have Netiquette in it.
    • I am in agreement with educating Netiquette to students so they are aware of internet behavior.
