The Challenge Of Teaching Ethics In Technology, Barbara Rosenfeld

NERA Conference Proceedings 2010

This paper investigates some of the ethical issues related to being a good
digital citizen and keeping users safe in an online environment. Parents and
educators should teach their children about the dangers of cyberspace as
well as the beneficial aspects of being able to access many resources and
communicate with others. The trend toward using electronic communication
devices both in and out of the school environment is one that many
educators embrace, but key issues must be addressed to maintain both
physical safety and good mental health.
