Good digital communication manners.

00:18.000 --> 00:24.000
Good manners are important online, just like in person.

00:24.000 --> 00:30.000
How we talk to others online affects our relationships and trust.

00:30.000 --> 00:39.000
Whether texting, posting, or chatting in games using kind words helps show respect.

Consider how your words might affect others and treat them how you'd like to be treated.

00:45.000 --> 00:51.000
Here are some ways to show good manners online.

00:51.000 --> 00:53.000
Use respectful language.

00:53.000 --> 00:59.000
Online messages can be misunderstood because others can't hear your voice or see your face.

00:59.000 --> 01:04.000
That's why using polite language and thinking about your tone is important.

01:04.000 --> 01:06.000
Avoid all caps.

01:06.000 --> 01:08.000
Writing in all caps can seem like shouting.

01:08.000 --> 01:13.000
Instead of, why didn't you do this? Try, can you help me with this?

01:13.000 --> 01:16.000
Use emojis wisely.

01:17.000 --> 01:23.000
Use emojis like smiley face or frowning face can show feelings, but make sure they match the situation.

01:23.000 --> 01:27.000
Don't use a laughing emoji in a serious conversation.

01:27.000 --> 01:33.000
Be kind and clear. Use kind words and avoid saying hurtful things.

01:33.000 --> 01:37.000
This shows appreciation and is friendly and positive.

01:37.000 --> 01:42.000
Polite and respectful messages help keep conversations positive.

01:42.000 --> 01:48.000
Respectment is rude, hurtful, and doesn't contribute to a respectful conversation.

01:48.000 --> 01:58.000
Think before posting. Before sharing a photo or making a joke, ask yourself, could this hurt someone or embarrass them?

01:58.000 --> 02:00.000
Respect privacy.

02:00.000 --> 02:06.000
Never share someone else's personal information or photos without their permission.

02:06.000 --> 02:11.000
These actions help make online spaces safer and more respectful for everyone.

02:11.000 --> 02:14.000
Privacy and personal safety online.

02:14.000 --> 02:16.000
Keep personal information.

02:16.000 --> 02:20.000
Private. Don't share your address or phone number online.

02:20.000 --> 02:27.000
Use strong passwords. Use strong unique passwords for each account. Don't share them.

02:27.000 --> 02:29.000
Think before you share.

02:29.000 --> 02:33.000
Avoid posting location or personal photos that could put you at risk.

02:33.000 --> 02:38.000
These habits help keep you safe and protect others online.
