YES! This is something my CT and I talk about almost daily. Our freshmen cannot compose a grammatically correct, respectful email query to save their lives and it's horrifying. In addition to internet safety, etiquette is something that should not be taken for granted as something students come equipped knowing - in many instances, kids email how they text and that technique doesn't recognize shifts in tone or audience. If I receive another "hey, wut is the hwk tonite?" email sent from a student, I may scream. I absolutely will be adding a "how to email" mini lesson before I'm done with student teaching in 4 weeks. :)

Whoops - this is Sarah Caldwell.
