Week 4 - Ethics in and through Technology & Student Reflection Survey

Part 1: Critical Assessment - Ethics in and through Technology

Identify a current application for digital technology that you feel has social, moral, and ethical implications for teachers and/or students based on your current role in education (grade level, content area, leadership role, etc.). If you are not currently working in an educational setting (broadly defined), please identify a context that you are interested in using to frame your work. Technology is broadly defined to include anything from a piece of hardware (laptop, gaming console, tablet) to software, apps, social media platforms, etc.

For this assignment, write one paper framed to argue its point toward a particular audience. You must first decide who you are considering to be the audience of the paper. Then, do the research and write the paper as if you will be giving it to that audience. Your choices are:

• Write a short policy brief that could be given to the school board, administration, or the legislature with practical recommendations

OR

• Write an informational document with practical recommendations for your school’s parents

Research this issue, identifying various perspectives on the positives and negatives of this topic. As you are researching, pay particular attention to educational implications for access, equity social relationships, privacy laws/concerns, etc. This research serves as the foundation of ideas for the paper you will write.

Citing at least three research-based sources, write your 5-page paper (policy brief or informational document noted above) for your chosen audience that covers the following:

• A brief description of the issue you will discuss—what technology tool or application have you chosen? How do you see it related to ethical concerns for students and/or teachers? Identify your chosen emphasis area for character development based on your reading from Seider’s (2012) text, Character Compass: How Powerful School Culture Can Point Students Toward Success.
• Current research on the topic that looks at trends in this area (e.g. this might include statistics on use, frequency of negative behaviors, etc.). Pay attention to social and moral issues that are raised as related to your chosen technology.
• Synthesis of recommendations for safe, ethical use of that technology application while also supporting educational initiatives or aims of schooling (Please include 3-4 recommendations in your paper). Please remember to tie these back to the social, moral, and character development issues discussed in this course. Consider whether you are advocating for a view of character that emphasizes moral, performance, or civic character (Seider, 2012) and ensure that your perspective as it relates to your technology issue comes through.

Please consider your chosen audience when writing the paper—imagine that you will use the paper to share the information with the audience in an engaging way. Write accordingly.

Ideas for this project include, but are not limited to, topics such as:

• Facebook, Edmodo, or Google+ in the classroom
• Twitter and Instagram, Snapchat, Vine, Ask.fm, etc.—alternate forms of social media
• Cyberbullying or cyberbaiting
• Plagiarism

• Digital footprints and data safety/student privacy—digital citizenship
• Online learning in K-12 settings
• Gamification or “Games-based learning”
