I will adhere to the principles of Netiquette by treating others with respect and consideration in my interactions. I will make an effort to communicate clearly and professionally, avoiding offensive or inappropriate language. I will also respect the privacy and confidentiality of others, refraining from sharing personal information without consent. Additionally, I will actively listen and respond to others' ideas and opinions with respect and open-mindedness.

The principles of Netiquette are similar to the norms of respectful behavior in a traditional classroom. However, there are some differences in the online context, such as the need to be mindful of the tone of our written communication and the importance of understanding the potential impact of our words without the benefit of non-verbal cues. Overall, both Netiquette and classroom respect aim to foster a positive and inclusive environment for effective communication and collaboration.

To me, netiquette is extremely important, especially since everything we say and do is stored in the Cloud. Rude, vulgar language and sarcasm, or the overuse of capital font letters in an email is unacceptable behavior. It is important to respect people and their privacy in the online environment. Appropriate behaviour and the way we communicate in this space is very important. To me, it means always:

1. Respect people and remember they are real people operating in a virtual space
2. To be considerate and respect people's privacy, culture and time
3. and more importantly to respect yourself, your dignity and that of the company which you represent.

It is crucial to be considerate of others when posting on an online forum. Always be mindful when sending a response to someone. Another thing to add, is to be careful when addressing someone. Especially when responding to people from other parts of the world, remember everyone has different ways of addressing people...for example; it might be okay to address someone by their first name in some informal forums, but for some cultures it is seen as disrespectful, and they would rather be addressed by their title and surname.

I will try to uphold netiquette principles by respecting other people's responses to topics and encourage healthy debates on a digital platform by using a professional tone of voice when responding to messages and avoid using colloquial language to make sure the message is communicated correctly. When sending messages I will proofread and imagine if I would say something exactly like that if I were to speak with the recipient in person.

Netiquette principles are different to the normal classroom respect in that in a normal classroom respect responding is instant and one is able to read the body language of the individual you are responding to to adapt your tone of voice, body language etc. where in a online environment responces are not always instant and you are unable to determine how the person is feeling or reacting to your question or statement.

Netiquette, or internet etiquette, revolves around respectful behavior and communication online. To uphold these principles prioritize clarity, kindness and consideration in online interactions. This includes using proper language, being mindful of tone, respecting others opinions and avoiding disruptive behavior.

Comparing to the normal classroom, netiquette differs mainly in the medium of communication and the potential anonymity or distance between participants. in a classroom setting, face to face interaction allows for immediate feedback and nonverbal cues, promoting a more personal and nuanced exchange. In contrast, online interactions require more conscious effort to convey tone and intent, as well as navigating potential barriers like time zones or language barriers.

I can easily uphold on the above mentioned netiquettes by applying the information that will be provided to me, e.g. when you joining a study there are rules for the groups that maybe you can name the as DO'S AND DONT'S and also it goes with how I conduct myself among other people, When I interact with people I must understand that their thinking ability might not be the same like mine .I understand their opinions and if I find them irrelevant with the try and correct them with a decision and respectful way.
Allow them to have ideas and views on the related topic and made it easy to get to me by giving a ground interact and correct me if am doing wrong.

These netiquette are different in a way that I might interact with people that I've never seen or meet face to face, some I don't understand their behavior but will have learn over the net and get to know them, I don't get to read their body language and seriousness than seeing them in the classroom.

hi there

online group communication is much different in comparison to classroom communication since the ppl whom you are communicating to are unable to see your body language and facial expressions nor able to hear the tone of voice, all of which assists in effectively generating your point across with the desired impact. with this being said, one would need to display an added effort in acknowledgement and consideration of each viewpoint before interjecting with your own, without any risk of sounding abrupt. hence, netiquette is slightly more challenging since much care is required when typing out your responses which will ensure that others don't feel offended, or their opinions devalued by you, since they unable to hear or see body language.

Netiquette refers to the rules and guidelines for acceptable behaviour when using online platforms to communicate. This would be different from the normal classroom respect because body language and tone of voice can't be seen. It can only be communicated online which makes it open for interpretation. Typing a sentence in all capital letters might not convey a message of excite but rather anger.

Netiquettes and classroom respect both emphasize being respectful and courteous. In classrooms, respect is shown through attentive listening, polite language, and valuing others' opinions.

online netiquette places more emphasis on written communication. In a physical classroom, non-verbal cues (like body language) and face-to-face interactions help guide respectful communication, whereas in an online setting, being mindful of tone and clarity in text becomes crucial to avoid misunderstandings. Additionally, privacy and the ability to easily communicate with others remotely means we must be even more careful about being courteous and respecting boundaries, as there are fewer immediate ways to gauge someone's reactions

Similarities

1. Respect for others: Both netiquettes and classroom respect emphasize the importance of treating others with respect and dignity.
2.Active listening: In both online and offline settings, active listening is crucial for effective communication and avoiding misunderstandings.


Differences

1. Communication style: Online communication often lacks nonverbal cues, making it essential to use clear and concise language to avoid misinterpretations.
2.Anonymity: Online environments can provide a sense of anonymity, which may lead to a lack of accountability and increased incidence of inappropriate behavior.

My reflection on the Netiquette:

•Avoid bad language.

•Respect people's
point of view.

•Respect cultural
differences.

•Be supportive and
less judgemental.

•Adhere to the online
group rules.

Differences between these Netiquette to the classroom respect:

•The possibility of bad internet connections.

•Misinterpretation of
messages or texts
because of the
communication style
being used.

•Not being
accountable for
any offensive
expressions
because people
remain
anonymous.

•Bridge of privacy and
confidentiality
because people may
re-post or share
outside of the actual
group.

•Lack the skills to even

Be Respectful: Always be polite and avoid offensive language or comments. Just like in a classroom, respect for others is key to a positive environment.
Use Clear and Concise Communication: In online communication, clarity is crucial since tone and body language can be lost. This is similar to the need for clear communication in the classroom to avoid misunderstandings.
Be Aware of Tone: Written communication can be easily misinterpreted, so it’s important to keep a neutral or friendly tone. This parallels the respectful tone expected in face-to-face classroom conversations.
Avoid Spamming: Sending irrelevant or excessive messages can be disruptive, similar to disrupting a classroom discussion.
Give Credit: Just as you would cite sources or credit someone’s work in a classroom, online, it’s important to acknowledge the sources of information you share.
Protect Privacy: Don’t share sensitive or personal information about yourself or others, much like respecting personal boundaries in a classroom.
Comparison to Classroom Respect:
Netiquette and classroom respect both emphasize respect, communication, and appropriate behavior. However, in the classroom, body language, facial expressions, and physical presence play a significant role in communication. In contrast, online communication lacks these cues, so written tone and clarity become more critical.

In both environments, the goal is to maintain a space where everyone feels valued, heard, and respected.

Upholding Netiquette
1. *Respect others' opinions- I will engage in constructive discussions, avoiding personal attacks or inflammatory language.
2. *Use proper language and tone- I will communicate clearly, using proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation, and avoid using sarcasm or condescending tone.
3. *Be mindful of cultural differences: I will be sensitive to diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives, avoiding cultural insensitivities or biases.
4. *Avoid distractions and stay on topic: I will remain focused on the discussion, avoiding irrelevant comments or tangents.
5. *Use proper citation and referencing: I will acknowledge sources, citing and referencing correctly to maintain academic integrity.

Comparison to Classroom Respect
Netiquette guidelines are similar to normal classroom respect, as both emphasize:

1. Respect for others' opinions and perspectives
2. Proper communication and tone
3. Sensitivity to diversity and inclusivity
4. Focus on the topic or discussion
5. Academic integrity and proper citation

However, Netiquette guidelines are tailored to online interactions, where tone and intent can be easily misinterpreted. By upholding Netiquette, I can ensure a positive, respectful, and productive online learning environment.

Classroom comparison: In the classroom, we similarly show respect by listening attentively, addressing others politely, and avoiding disruptive behavior. Both require thoughtfulness and consideration.

Re: Activity: Comparing Netiquette and classroom Respect: Principles and Practices.

by Nkcubeko Mbuzane -

In the video that discuss netiquette, common guidelines include being respectful, using appropriate language, not spamming, refraining from shouting like using all caps, respecting others privacy, and staying on topic discussion.To uphold these netiquettes, i would make sure to communicate thoughtfully and avoid using offensive language and ensure that my comments and my messages do contributes positively to the conversation. i would also respect the boundaries of others by not sharing their personal information without their consent and following the rules of the  specific online platform. in comparison to normal classroom respect, netiquette and classroom respect have a lot of similarities, such as maintaining politeness, being considerate of others opinion, and contributing positively to the environment. however the primary difference is the medium. in a classroom, respect is more immediate and body language, facial expressions, and tone of voice play a significant roles in communication. online, these cues are often absent, so it is more important to be clear and intentional with written words to avoid miscommunication.

I believe that the use of capital letters in sentences ,or in the middle of a sentence rather, demonstrate the loud or lauder voice that tells if you are shouting.

One of my favorite aspects of netiquette is the practice of avoiding the use of capital letters in my written communication. This choice reflects my belief in maintaining a respectful and calm tone, similar to how I conduct myself in public settings, such as a classroom. Just as I wouldn’t raise my voice or shout to get someone’s attention in a quiet environment, I prefer to convey my messages with a sense of calmness and consideration for my audience. This approach not only fosters a more pleasant interaction but also helps to ensure that my messages are received in a friendly manner.

Netiquette is about being polite online, like having good manners. To uphold them, I will be respectful, use good grammar, not shout with all caps, protect your privacy, and be understanding if there are any mistakes. It's similar to classroom respect but for the internet.

Digital platforms have opened new communication channels for humans. And since it is behind a screen, it is easy to loose one's composure and therefore I found the video insightful as those skills are not taught openly. It is similar to classroom respect, however this takes more restraint as you need to keep classroom behaviour and rules even when you are remote. So, things like ensuring that your environment is conducive for learning.

Reflection on Netiquette and How I Will Uphold Them:

The netiquette rules presented in the video emphasize being respectful, clear, and responsible in all online interactions. Some key guidelines include:

Using respectful and polite language

Staying on topic during discussions

Avoiding all caps (which can seem like shouting)

Responding thoughtfully and not spamming

Respecting others' opinions, even in disagreement

Using proper grammar and avoiding slang in formal settings

To uphold these, I will:

Think before I type, ensuring my tone is appropriate and respectful.

Stay focused on class topics and avoid distractions or side conversations in chats or forums.

Be patient with others, especially if they’re new to online learning tools.

Participate meaningfully, contributing to discussions in a way that adds value and shows I’m engaged.

Follow instructions from the teacher or moderator, just as I would in a physical classroom.

Difference from Normal Classroom Respect:

While both netiquette and classroom respect share the same core values—such as kindness, honesty, and responsibility—there are some differences:

Netiquette (Online) Classroom Respect (In-Person)
Tone must be clear in writing (no body language) Tone includes voice, gestures, and expressions
Emphasizes written clarity and digital conduct Emphasizes behavior, speech, and physical actions
Includes digital safety (e.g., not oversharing) Includes physical safety (e.g., no disruptions)
Time to reflect before posting Often requires instant reactions or answers

In both cases, the goal is to create a safe, respectful, and productive learning environment—whether we’re in front of a screen or in a classroom.
