=Week 4: Ethics in Educational Technology=

__Gaining Students' Attention__
Use the clickers to determine what students already know about copyright, fair use guidelines, illegal file sharing, plagiarism, etc. //** Does anyone already have a set of questions that would work for this? **// I found a short quiz online that I used to ask questions with the clickers. http://www.proprofs.com/quiz-school/quizview.php?title=fair-use-copyright-quiz " Questions are taken from a quiz created by Hall Davidson. The quiz may be reproduced with attribution for educational purposes. " Quote from the site itself. Thanks, Todd! I put the questions from the above website into a powerpoint w/CPS so you could use them with clickers:

__Recall of Prior Learning__
Last week we learned about the basics of computer systems. It seems kids today are not afraid to push the buttons on those computer systems, but do they really know all they need to know regarding digital tools? What do you think? Are kids really as "tech-savvy" as most teachers assume they are?

__Presentation of Material__
The following videos illustrate issues of Ethics and Digital Citizenship. When watching the videos, pay close attention to the content being presented but also to the fact that most of these were assignments created by kids. This may be the type of assignment you want to consider when having your students demonstrate what they have learned.

__Retention/Transference__
We've learned a lot about intellectual property, fair use, and copyright -- particularly things we CAN'T use in the classroom. What CAN be used, though?

__Additional Items For Online Sections__
Discussion Question: In Chapter 11, many important issues are discussed that MUST be considered by teachers today, whether you intentionally incorporate technology or not. Technology is having a huge impact on classroom management. For example, students are hassling teachers to the point where they blow up, and then record it and put it online (do a search on YouTube for "angry teacher"). Also, cheating has taken on a whole new level of genius through the use of cell phones and other tools. Think your students are writing their papers? Have you seen schoolsucks.com? How will you proactively deal with the ethical and even legal issues that you'll face in your classroom that are often directly related to technology? What do you think about tools like turnitin.com? Would you use this tool for your students' writing assignments? Or, do you think that it violates students' rights in some way (as some have argued and even sued over)? How can you enjoy the benefits of technology in your classroom while limiting the problems that also come with technology?
