PLO+5

PLO - 5 Exemplify ethical practices of technology usage.

Ethical issues are a major consideration in all things that involve children and students. Although ethics can be subjective, it is necessary to consider what might or might not be appropriate. The line for some is much more defined than for others. Instructors need to be aware of the possibilities of inappropriate content students might happen upon during Internet browsing and online usage. Safety issues need to be addressed ahead of time so that students know what to do in the event they accidently come across unsuitable sites or information. Privacy issues need to be tackled as well and students will need to be advised as to what is appropriate to publish and what is not. Personal information and parental involvement should also be addressed so that everyone is aware of the policies and how technology will be used.
