Netiquette:
Our digital world makes it easy to stay in touch and share friendships, memories, and ideas.
Step 1: Explore “oops!” and “wow!” moments
#3 - Read four published stories. First, find two stores about people who've sent or posted messages that caused hurt - for themselves, for others, for family, or for their job. What have those involved learned? Now look for two stories about how online communication has caused good. (Ask a librarian for some recommendations if you need help finding stores.)
Step 2: Dig into stories of “ouch” - and repair some hurt if necessary
#3 - Start a kindness practice. Every day for two weeks, go out of your way to send a message via text, e-mail, or social media praising others for something well done. Notice how other people respond, and use that information to add tips to your list. This a great chance to repair some "ouch" moments in your own life, if any have cropped up!
Step 3: Look at e-mail, commenting, blogging
#1 - Get into e-mail etiquette. E-mail is used for business and more formal online communications, and being able to sue it considerately and correctly is an important part of your online persona. You'll want to know how to be effective when you land that first internship. give five businesspeople the e-mail etiquette quiz on the next page to find out what they prefer.
Step 4: Decide what makes a great social media profile
#1 - Discuss some character profiles. Before a meeting with your Cadette group, have everyone create a pretend social media profile for a character from a book or movie. Use the same template for everyone - decide before which bits of information to include. Think up some good and not-so-good details to share in your characters profile. At your meeting, discuss each, and come up with dos and don'ts for creating social media profiles.
Step 5: Spread better practices
#3 - Present it. Find the common themes in your tips, and turn them into a fun monologue, scene, or skit to capture on video and post to an online community. Or present it as an in-person skit at a school or Girl Scout event, or in a puppet show for a younger audience. (If you've earned your Screenwriter or Digital Movie Maker badge, you could use your skills here!)
When Cadettes earn this badge, they will know how to make—and keep—their online world a positive place.
