In France each highschool has to mention Netiquette in the school rules. It helps a lot at the beginning of each school year to go through the rules with the students. If a teacher starts a specific activity on the Internet, working on a wiki for example, it is often useful to write down the specific rules. Parents and pupils have to accept and sign them , it prevents a lot of problems !

Netiquette should be the first step before going on line

I usually promote Netiquette in the classroom before I assign an online activity. I ask the students to get into groups and note down the differences between f2f and online communication. Then I ask them to present their ideas to the class and come up with some rules for online communication. After that I give them a hard copy of Netiquette guide and ask them to compare their ideas with what is written in the guide. I think it's a great approach to let the students think first and then compare. Definitely much more effective. Thanks for sharing your strategy with us.

I have used this YouTube video with my teenage students because a video seemed more appropriate for younger generations. I think it explains well the most important rules: How to Follow Proper Netiquette Rules (Howcast. com) www.youtube.com/watch?v=6dRoclqDJh0Hope you like it, too. Sanja Thanks for the video link Sanja, that's great. Not only for teenagers, I'm going to share it with my teaching colleagues! Cheers, Lesley

I believe is a good idea to work with Netiquette before hitting the online space. Most students are not even aware of it, so creating a few classroom activities where students share their thoughts of what Netiquette is before showing them a N. guide is a good idea. As a newbie in regards to participating in online forums I agree with you. Netiquette is very important so as to avoid flaming, and also as a way of preventing people from using inappropriate language.

Not much to add to this thread; read some great ideas about getting Ss to brainstorm netiquette rules and perhaps discuss why they exist, showing them You Tube videos and more! Just to throw in a couple of additional ideas: - get the Ss to research the concept of Netiquete on the web?
- get them to create their own Netiquette Guide as a result of the previous idea?
- show them some bad examples of breaches of Netiquette?
Have run out of ideas for now

Hi, I am trying to implement and use the new ideas and information that I have read until now thanks to baw2011. Thus yesterday I started my course by asking the following 4 questions and giving the chance to each student to participate by giving her/his opinion (one question at a time):
-Have you ever learned something new through a forum or a website? Did anyone anwered one of your questions online? -Have you ever received a big number of emails on the same day and were unable to treat all of them? -Are you working in parallel to your academic studies? If yes, do you have an email address at work? -When online what does it mean to receive a text in capital letters?
Then I introduced the netiquette and pointed that the 4 basic rules were mainly mentioned by the students while trying to respond to the above mentioned questions.
It worked!

Hello Everybody!
I think it's very important that people realize that whenever we forward an e-mail to many of our contacts we make sure to use the Bcc option (Blind Carbon Copy) which means that you can send the e-mail to all the contacts you want but each one will only see his/her own e-mail address. This way we can prevent spammers form getting our contacts' details.
"Bcc: is a nice and powerful tool. But you still should limit its use to cases when it is clear that the message was sent to multiple recipients whose addresses are protected using Bcc:. You could mention the other recipients at the end of the email by name, but not by email address, for example. "

I found the article comprehensive. We used a link to netiquette rules in our online courses for adult educators. And, have not been doing so recently as we don't seem to have difficulties in the facilitate courses. What have been your experiences?

This is not the first time I have heard / read about Netiquette. I liked it very much from the very beginning and I considered my students should also know it. At the beginning of the school year or when I start a new project on line, each of my students gets one copy of the Netiquette so that they may know it and behave accordingly.

I personally do not have much to say, specially because this is the first time I am in contact with this new world, but I certainly would emphasize the fact that a good conversation before going online is an effective way of putting them aware of a proper code behaviour online.

I am absolutely agree with justbrasil and mistermikelcc. But of course the whole page of Netiquette is too hard for my low level ESL students. First, I would choose and assort the main rules and would ask them translate in a written form. Some of my students sit on the Russian chats full of filthy language and obscenities, but most of them have never had an e-mail address before. I found the rules appropriate in the everyday life as well. All the guidelines are relevant and useful a lot. Victor

It's important to explain that following these not very complicated rules makes our lives safer and more pleasant. And also it's mutual.
