Digital Etiquette

Digital Etiquette: electronic standards of conduct or procedure. Technology leaders will recognize this area as one of the most pressing problems when dealing with digital citizenship. What is appropriate and inappropriate electronic behavior? We recognize inappropriate behavior when we see it, but schools seldom teach digital etiquette (i.e., appropriate conduct) as part of the regular curriculum. Outside school, violations of digital etiquette are ignored. Inside schools, we create rules and regulation or even ban the technology that is being used inappropriately. It is not enough to create rules and policy, we must teach students to become responsible digital citizens in school as well as in society.
