Learnings from Module 2

Hello everyone! It’s only week 2 in ESEPY 1159 and I have already learned so much about online tools, but also about myself. This weeks lesson was all about communicating and collaborating on the web. This includes emailing professors, discussion posts, group communication, collaborating online, and many other things. The most important thing I learned in this weeks modules is netiquette. As Julie Spira would say, Netiquette is the correct way to communicate on the internet. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gvkbDc1LiVI&feature=emb_logo.) Just like theres etiquette for fancy dinners or weddings, there is etiquette for everything online. With majority of things being online due to the pandemic (work, school, meetings, shopping etc.) this is a very important time to focus on your own netiquette. One way you already practice this is your zoom classes. Proper netiquette for zoom meetings includes muting your microphone when you’re not speaking, proper position of your camera, little to no distractions, and being prepared on what you are about to learn. If these are things you do while in zoom classes, then you are already practicing good netiquette, great job! Another important thing to note when communicating online is that you cannot see other peoples expression, or hear their tone of voice. This means you should pay extra attention to your wording and grammar when communicating online. Even though you might know it, you practice netiquette everyday!
