Welcome to my blog!

My name is Jade Keith and I am a 10th grade World History teacher in Washington, DC.  I have been teaching for 15 years in middle and high schools.  My primary job, however, is that of a Mom to a 12-year old girl.  Over the years, I have seen the use of technology flourish in classroom across content areas.  I have also seen a rise in the improper use of technology and its impact on students and communities.  Technology offers so many educational benefits, but just like anything, its risks must be shared with users before they fall victim to the many possible pitfalls.  The purpose of this blog is to educate students, parents and teachers alike on NETIQUETTE.  It may seem like common sense, but netiquette is far from common.  The internet does not come with a users guide and many users do not have the skills to navigate such a vast and open network of possibilities without forgetting their manners.  Thank you for joining me on this journey towards bringing NETIQUETTE to the masses.
