Social, Ethical, Legal and Human Issues
We as future educators have to give rise to a host of social, legal and ethical and human issues that is surrounding advanced technology when our students are involve. Future educators and teachers need to know a reasonable amount about these issues. Because of their positions as teachers or potential teachers, we need to be above reproach and address issues as they arise and not take a laid back approach about these issues that would affect our students.
Teachers and future educators need to carefully examine their own role modeling in areas such as:
- Stealing software. (This includes all aspects of making and/or using illegal copies of software).
- Plagiarizing. It is exceedingly easy to do "cut and paste" without referencing the source and without paying attention to copyright laws.
- Making illegal or unethical use of ICT facilities.
- Damaging, destroying, stealing, and illegally using files that belong to others.
Because of their positions as teachers or potential teachers, need to be above reproach in the bulleted items listed above.
