​What is Online Etiquette?

​Simply put, Online Etiquette, or Netiequette, is acceptable behaviour when on the internet. Think of it as a set of rules or guidelines. When online, users should be kind, honest, and respect the rights and property of others – essentially, acting and behaving the same offline in daily life as when online. 

Treat others how you want to be treated.

The same rule that applies online as it does in real life. Remind learners about the importance of good manners, and remind them to discuss sensitive or potentially upsetting topics with the person directly rather than posting something online. 

​

Stay away from drama. Talk about online drama and how to avoid it. If an online conversation is becoming negative, encourage them to sign out. That isn't always easy to do, but may possibly prevent things from escalating. Responding with a mean message or nasty text can make things worse. 

​

​https://www.cybersafecarepei.ca/online-safety-and-ethics

Respect others and their confidence. Remind learners that if a friend shares something in confidence, that it should remain in confidence and not be shared with others. Teach them to use critical thinking and to ask themselves how they would feel if something they shared in confidence with someone was shared with others. They should always seek permission before sharing or posting a photo of someone else.

​https://www.cybersafecarepei.ca/online-safety-and-ethics

Check and double-check before hitting 'send'. Once you press send the information is out there and cannot be taken back. Teach kids to think about what they are posting, texting, or emailing to others. Encourage them to read what they intend to post numerous times before hitting send. Even if they later delete it, someone may have taken a screenshot and shared it with others. 

_{​https://www.cybersafecarepei.ca/online-safety-and-ethics}

Be positive and truthful. Self-censoring messages is important. Encourage learners to make sure their posts are not sarcastic, rude, or negative. They should avoid gossip or sharing information that is not true. They should understand what CYBERBULYYING is, and not engage in any activity online that is considered harmful to others.
