This blog is about my experience learning about the differing teaching practices, learning environments within the classroom, activities that can be participated or assessed by and integrating technology in the classroom. I will reflect on these experiences throughout the semester in ETC 447.

Digital etiquette is also more commonly known as netiquette. It is the way you should treat people while online, having the same respect and courtesy as you do in face to face interactions. Using this kind of respect and courtesy to others allows the internet to remain a safe and responsible place for all to enjoy. Teaching these to your students will allow you to have a safer, better technological classroom. If you have these regulations for your students and set an example for them, it will open up doors for you to use as a teacher. You can include more technology into the curriculum and attempt to make their education digitally advanced. Students will most likely already have had a lot of digital social interactions before stepping foot inside your class, and many of them will have had this experience outside the classroom setting. Making social interactions based on digital etiquette will set the basis for what you expect of your students, no matter how they are allowed to use technology outside of school. Setting an example for them would be a great use of your time and energy, have a couple mock examples of what they should not be doing, acting this out would be a great way to show them how most digital conversations have the same effect in real life, and have examples of what an appropriate conversation would look like as well. Setting up your class with a strong foundation in digital etiquette is allowing your students more freedom in the technological world.
