Inappropriate Actions

Internet and digital safety is a field in which I have focused and developed exponentially over the last six years. As a high school media specialist, use of digital apps and tools has increased with every year, making instruction for ethical use and safety a must for the protection and welfare of teens.

I will make parents partners in the process, by sending home the acceptable use policy. I will make technology use contracts that parent and students will sign, that will bind them to use technology appropriately. The contract will explain both the acceptable use of technology and also what unacceptable use of technology is considered, and what the consequence are to violators. Alongside contract I will also ensure that students understand how to use the internet, and how to find quality academic websites. I will help students understand copywriter laws, and when necessary I will check the history on my student’s digital devices if I ever suspect a student is in

Duff, White & Turner, LLC “ Schools Should Punish Students for Misuse of Networking sites” (Document D). If Schools have dealt with a number of incidents concerning improper use of internet sites should be banned. I believe school computers should be used only for homework and school purposes. The internet being an open network, which includes big Social Networking sites such as Myspace and Facebook of course students are going to pay more attention to that. Schools should restrict all those websites , although there are ways around in which students use to bypass. Schools around the United States have entered into an education code in which it authorizes to expel, suspend, or removal of school. Even though some students might say the school can't get into what they do after or outside of campus. The school can engage in taking charge of conduct resulted in disruption of the school environment. The school may lawfully discipline any student for such

“The definition of sexual harassment stated in the EEOC Guidelines and accepted by the U.S. Supreme Court is “unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature,” which implicitly or explicitly make submission a term or condition of employment; make employment decisions related to the individual dependent on submission to or rejection of such conduct, or have the purpose or effect of creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive environment (Kubasek, 2009, p. 600).”

Papa (2011), indicated to combat these issues administrators must consider protective measures for both internet and technology use (p.198). Protocols for teaching students how to use the internet appropriately must be put in place (Papa, 2011, p. 198). Antivirus and protection software must also purchased to “prevent extensive damage to existing computer systems” (Papa, 2011, p.198). Regrettably, despite our best efforts to maintain network security we must still face the possibility of people or physical threats such as:

“Pupils are responsible for acceptable and appropriate behavior and conduct on school district computer networks/computers.”

After conducting a t-test and regression in R, we can conclude that vegetation cover differs on and off a prairie dog colony meaning that prairie dogs have a significant effect of grassland vegetation by increasing vegetation richness and diversity. As we already said, there was a greater variety of plants in the grassland region with prairie dogs than in the region without prairie dogs. The fact that there is more vegetation on a prairie dog colony region than off a prairie dog colony suggests that sites inhabited by prairie dog populations will have a richer distribution of plants and a healthier prairie ecosystem.

Everyone was taught the difference between right and wrong at some point in their life, however, reinforcing such behavior is essential to ensure that people don’t lose touch as to how to make ethical decisions that may directly affect them in the future. After reviewing the TEA Code of Ethics, I believe the document reinforces ethical behavior that an educator should adhere to in a school environment. Additionally, the Code of Ethics is a set of standards that are used to judge ethical conduct. Therefore, the educator has to have a strong commitment to the students they serve as well as a strong commitment to their profession. By having a strong commitment to the students, the educator is ensuring that all students have an opportunity

Ethical theory will be outlined in relation to the example case with discussion on how the case poses an ethical dilemma in the workplace. Additionally ethical theory will be considered in light of the case with

The sixth Student Learning Objective teaches one about the significance of professional and ethical responsibility. Professionalism and ethical behavior at the workplace helps one to develop effective work habits. Kritika used to work in a hospital as administrative assistant and was held responsible for maintaining the record of the patients. While working as an administrative assistant in a hospital, Kritika faced an ethical dilemma when Kritika was asked by one of the senior colleagues to disclose a patient’s information to a third party. The colleague was also one of Kritika’s good friend, who kept on asking for the patient’s detail and offered Kritika a promotion in exchange. Even though Kritika could have accepted the promotion offer

Schools have a responsibility to safeguard the welfare of children. They must ensure professional training of all staff on safeguarding children’s welfare, they must have a named member of staff with responsibilities for children’s safety including e-safety, they must develop children’s knowledge and awareness of acceptable and unacceptable behavior (including online behavior), they must observe for signs of abuse and changes in children’s behaviour. They must specifically know and support children who are at greater risk of abuse as identified in the ‘at risk register’. Schools must monitor and keep records and share information with other agencies as appropriate. Schools must also put in place policies and security systems for e-learning

The second part of this assignment is that each group member shares their own thoughts about the case study and what ethical issues they see from their perspective. This was a great assignment that allowed group members to communicate their own thoughts with each other. Additionally, we were able to offer possible suggestions to resolve the case study with a group dialogue. This also serves as a reminder that along with working in higher education and student services, there is a great responsibility to uphold the university and the students in the highest

Accessing, transmitting, copying, creating, posting or uploading material that: violates the school's standards for student behavior (such as messages and content that are dishonest, plagiarism, pornographic, obscene, threatening, discriminatory, harassing, intimidating, or bullying) or that is illegal (such as obscenity, stolen materials, impersonating another person for harmful purposes, or violating copyrights). The District will notify and fully cooperate with law enforcement if it becomes aware of any illegal use of the District Network.

Technology is rapidly evolving and changing, and as a result of the increasing availability and propagation of several forms of technology, academic dishonesty cases in every college and university have greatly multiplied and become a global issue. The issue on cheating behaviors in students is so pervasive and uncontrollable that it is almost considered as commonplace (Arhin & Jones, 2009). One of the hardest challenges for educators is knowing how and when to discipline their students. In the given scenario, there are several issues to take into account; the first and foremost being the issue of academic dishonesty. Academic dishonesty is defined by the Webster dictionary as the intentional participation in deceptive practices regarding one’s academic work or the work of another (Faucher & Caves, 2009). Jones (2011) states that many institutions of higher education have adopted academic dishonesty policies, instituted academic integrity tutorial completion prerequisites for next term registration, and acquired plagiarism software detection tools. They go on to say that within the past few years, high-tech cheating is gradually replacing the simple cut-and-paste cheating, and educators must be proactive and develop instructional strategies that integrate all facets of appropriate digital citizenship, that is, digital ethics. By implementing these academic dishonesty and integrity policies and making them attainable to

Technology in the classroom is important to assist in the learning process; however this is creating new challenges for teachers. Teachers are now required to educate students on the importance of technology ethics. Computer ethics is the moral guidelines that govern the use of computers and networks (Shelly, G, Gunter, G, and Gunter, R 2012). Ethics in the classroom also requires teachers to explain what plagiarism is and the proper way for students to give credit for information attained from another source. Teachers must also have a plan in place to address internet security, as well as devise a student use agreement and discuss ethical practices while using technology in the classroom.
