1. DO YOU HAVE NETIQUETTE? I don’t… Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] A WebQuest for 8th Grade (Digital Literacy) Designed by Zach Tocchi [email_address]

2. Introduction Student Page Title Introduction Task Process Evaluation Conclusion Credits [ Teacher Page ] Ever receive an email where the other person typed IN ALL CAPS? What about an email that threatens you about something? Use inappropriate language? Have you ever copied and pasted something without citing that information and claiming it as your own? If you know someone who can answer “Yes” to one or all of those questions, then they really need some digital etiquette! Digital etiquette (or netiquette) is a basic set of rules you should follow in order to make the Internet a better place for you and others. It is important to treat people online just as you would in real life. So you should treat others as you wish to be treated. Watch this video to learn a little about netiquette: http://www.brainpop.com/technology/computersandinternet/digitaletiquette/ In this webquest, you are going to go on an Internet wide search to find the truths about netiquette and then make a presentation to show to younger students. Good Luck!

8. DO YOU HAVE NETIQUETTE? I don’t… (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page A WebQuest for 8th Grade (Digital Literacy) Designed by Zach Tocchi [email_address] Based on a template from The WebQuest Page Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion

9. Introduction (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This activity is based on information presented in a Brain POP video that the learners will watch at the start of the lesson. We have been asked to present the information about digital literacy to upcoming 5 th graders who will be coming to the school next year. Basically, learners will research netiquette and present their information in a poster and a video presentation that these current 4 th graders will watch sometime later this year. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion

10. Learners (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page The grade level of the learners should be 8 th grade. They are the “top dogs” in the school, and should have the best background knowledge in netiquette. They were also presented this information when they were in 4 th grade coming up to this school so it is only fitting that they present this information to the next generation of learners at this school on their way up to the high school. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion

11. Curriculum Standards (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page Citing the ISTE standards : 5. Digital Citizenship Students understand human, cultural, and societal issues related to technology and practice legal and ethical behavior. Students: a. advocate and practice safe, legal, and responsible use of information and technology. b. exhibit a positive attitude toward using technology that supports collaboration, learning, and productivity. c. demonstrate personal responsibility for lifelong learning. d. exhibit leadership for digital citizenship. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion

12. The Process (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page First, see the process the students are taking on the “student” version process slide and then come back here for more information. Go ahead! I’ll wait… Students will be given a week or so days in class to complete all the requirements. Day 1 and part of day 2 should be research, Day 3-4 should be putting the poster and the video together and day 5 should be set aside for making little changes and sharing the information with the class. The presentation of learning should take place outside of this 5-day schedule. Students are to be put into groups of two or three. If you know your class wont pick good groups by themselves, pick groups for them. I would group them based on ability (have a low performing, average performing, and above average performing student in a group). Teacher should be able to help students with video editing. This webquest is designed for a classroom where each student has their own laptop. Variations To make the webquest even more technology based, students could make a Powerpoint presentation or a Prezi (this is preferable, students know how to use Powerpoing but often do not know about Prezi) presentation to present to the 4 th graders. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion

13. Resources (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page Materials needed for the lesson are poster boards for the students, glue sticks, scissors, a printer, lots of paper… Anything else that can be considered “poster supplies” The only human resources students may need is you, the teacher! Be there to help them with spelling and getting their words down on paper the way they want them to be presented. Sometimes this may be more difficult for students than us. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion

14. Evaluation (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page See the Student Evaluation page. The only thing I would do outside of that evaluation is have the students complete an exit slip either daily or at the end of the project. This could be vital feedback for when you consider the “Teamwork” grade as well how you could change this project for future years. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion

15. Teacher Script (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page I’m not sure what more I need to put here. Basically open the first class asking the learners what their idea of netiquette is, see if you can get examples of good and bad netiquette (maybe call it Etiquette online, maybe even just start with what etiquette is…) Then talk to the students about what they are going to spend the next week doing. Go through the student slides with them and present the information they need to get started on the project. This page is linked to the Process segment off of the Teacher Page Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion

16. Conclusion (Teacher) [ Student Page ] Title Introduction Learners Standards Process Resources Credits Teacher Page This lesson is vital to a Digital Literacy course. Learners do not really know how to properly act on the Internet. Without teaching netiquette, we could see more and more cyber bullying in this school. While it is not a problem now, it could become a problem in the future without proper netiquette training. Evaluation Teacher Script Conclusion
