I love this lesson plan by Common Sense Ed on how to teach kids about online communication. It includes some conversations about tone, the differences between online and in person conversations, and some good rules of thumb for being clear and kind online.
To modify it for my classroom, I would include a unit on in-game chat features, because I know how many older kids are communicating through chat features and headsets in video games. There's a big question here around communicating while anonymous that's interesting to explore!
