Introductions A total of 5 students attended the program. 4 boys and 1 girl. We spent a few minutes getting to know each other. I also introduced the program at this point.
Netiquette Information Handing out book marks with the netiquette rules so that we can use that for discussion purposes.
Discussion We discussed the netiquette rules and why they are important. I chose to sit with the students rather than stand in front of them because it was a small group and I felt like I would connect with them more if I was “on their level”.
Scenarios Different internet scenarios were given to the students. They analyzed them to see what netiquette rules had been broken. I visited with the students as they were reading to make sure they understood the situation and answer any questions they had.
Lester sends to the entire body inviting them to a BYOB party at his house while his parents are out of town. Lester receives a message from a system administrator calling him in for a meeting with school officials. He objects because he feels that his is his own private business. Scenario 1
Scenario 2 Jules has walked away from a lab computer without logging off. Trish sits down and, still logged in as Jules, sends inflammatory messages out to a number of students and posts similar messages on the class newsgroup
Scenario 3 Chester, Agatha, and Ridley are hanging out at the park one day and meet up with Chester’s friend Troy. Troy takes a bunch of pictures with his cell phone and uploads them to Facebook, adding suggestive captions to the photos. Agatha starts getting friend requests from guys she doesn’t know. She also gets a phone call from one of the families she babysits for, cancelling her upcoming job with them.
Discussions The three different scenarios prior to this slide were read by the students and discussions were held about the scenario, which rule was broken and why.
