Ethical Use of Technology Reminders: Teach the Children Well
By: C.R.E.A.T.E.- Challenging Regional Educators to Advance Technology in Education: 2004

The article outlines information for teachers on how to follow procedures when it comes to integrating technology in the classroom. It outlines the proper ways and guidelines for teachers to teach their students about the ethics necessary for the correct ways of using copy written works online. It also stresses the importance of not abusing the “fair use” guidelines for copyright infringement. With such a wide variety of information on the internet it is hard to properly cite or use information for educational purposes without teaching and understanding the respect for others intellectual property.

The second initiative of the article is aimed toward the teacher’s responsibility of holding true to the same standards they preach to the students. This is important not only because the teacher is the authority figure in the classroom, but also because teachers are going to be using multimedia presentations throughout the year to supplement their teaching methods, which creates a greater risk of using something improperly.
