Net Etiquette

Outcome

The viewer will gain an awareness to follow acceptable guidelines and customs when communicating on the Internet.

You and I live in a time that was for thousands of years unimaginable -

having the ability to instantly communicate with one person or millions of persons with

written language.

There are location and social situations where our appearance and use of language changes.

We dress and talk differently depending on the people we are

with.

For example, we speak differently with our age group friends than with

a doctor.

We are more thoughtful in choosing our words in

a job interview than with employees at fast

food restaurant.

We alter our communication

depending on the situation.

We learn many language techniques by watching others use both good and poor examples.

We observe, practice, and learn appropriate

communication methods and avoid methods that

are improper in the hundreds of social interactions we are

involved in every day.

Language techniques include more than spoken and written

words.

Context clues such as tone, body language, gestures, and volume, provide the listener

with additional information that the speaker is trying to convey.

The speaker observes the listener and makes changes to insure the

correct meaning is understood.

These verbal and visual context clues are

difficult to show when we communicate using

technology.

When we communicate on the Internet, context clues are not easily determined by readers and can lead to misunderstandings.

We are aware of our actions in the company

of other people.

We know there are consequences for wrong

or illegal behavior.

We, too, need to be aware of our "behavior"

while online.

Although we may seem to be anonymous, there is a

trail of our activity while we are online.

So, practicing safe networking is as important as being safe while walking,

playing sports, or driving.

Will you use the Internet properly?
