Netiquette and Cyberbullying 


Have you ever encountered the term netiquette while surfing in the web? 
Have you experienced being bullied in the internet? 
And do you even wondered there's rules and regulations everywhere in this world? 

Last week, I talked about the Ched Memorandum Order no. 79 series of 2017 and the things that we've done during and after the class discussion. For today's blog, I'm going to talk about the Netiquette and Cyberbullying and the things we've done during the 3rd meeting in the Technology for Teaching and Learning 1.

During the discussion

For today's meeting our student teacher showed us two videos about the technology in regards to teaching. The first one, a video about the evolution of the classroom teacher and the second one, is a video about the advantages and disadvantages of the technology for teaching.

Things we've done after the discussion 

After the video presentation, we had a recitation about what we think about the technology for teaching 10 years from now for the first video and what are insights for the second video.

After the recitation, we group ourselves by counting 1-6. My number was 2, so I belong to the group 2.  We are tasked to do a safety and ict policies about the netiquette and cyberbullying based on the local and international schools/university.

For the Netiquette, the school that we chose is the University of Texas at El Paco (international) and the Adamson University (local). For the anti-cyberbullying policy we had the University of Baguio as the example.

During our group presentation for the netiquette and cyberbullying policies:

By the way, Netiquette refers to the do's and don't in the internet or in the social media. For example "respect people's privacy" that is one of the very known or basic netiquette in the social media that must abide or follow by the users.

For the cyberbullying, it refers to the bullying that occurs in the internet or in the social media. Like, posting a photo that is not yours and commenting by using offensive words against someone's photo or post is a common occurrences in the social media and was considered an example of cyberbullying.

If cyberbullying happens to a person, it can cause a serious anxiety, chronic depression, panic and fear. It may affect the person's capability to socialize with other people and also can affect the person's grades or performance in school. Cyberbullying is a scary thing to happen to any people. That's why the netiquette was created in the social media.

What I've learned for today's meeting

The first one, is I've learned that the evolution of the classroom teacher started from the scratch. The education basically started from the cave drawings and develop all the way in the future. The cave drawings, originated in the European countries based on what our student teacher said.

The second one, I've realized that if technologies for teaching are improving in the future, teachers/professors should also be able to improve in a way that they can maximize the usage of the technology that they were going to use, in order to make their students learn better.

The third one, I've realized that Netiquette is really important in today's social media. Netiquette acts like as the law or policy in the world of the social media that should be abide in order to avoid any occurrence that may result into cyberbullying. 

As we end the day, another learnings are acquired and another motivation again for me to become a future educator.
