"Netiquette" refers to Internet etiquette. It is the use of good manners in online communication such as e-mail, forums, blogs, and social networking sites. Communicating online is non-verbal so it is important to use proper netiquette. Most often online communication consists of reading something someone else has typed. This type of communication does not allow each person to see facial expressions, body language, or hear intonation. Messages can often be misinterpreted. By following netiquette, online communication becomes clear .https://www.education.com/reference/article/netiquette-rules-behavior-internet/

The two major federal policies educators need to consider when using social media in schools are the Children's Online Privacy Protection Act (COPPA) of 1998 and the Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) of 2000. COPPA was enacted to protect students under 13 from having their personal information collected without the consent of a parent or guardian. CIPA requires that schools have filtering in place to keep students from accessing inappropriate content. State and local policies can vary.
