Legal and Ethical Issues with Technology in the Classroom

With any amount of progress there are concerns and questions that arise. With technology in the classroom there are copyright questions that come into play, such as, when are copyright laws being violated and what are the repercussions. Something as simple as copying a picture could be, in fact, breaking the law. It is a fine line that educators must be sure not to cross as well as making sure their students don't cross that line or break any laws.

Ethically there are many things on the Internet that could be a threat to students. The Internet opens up the entire world to students and a lot of the information available may not be appropriate for them. While some of the information may not be illegal, it would be unethical to have children view them, or play games or go on social sites that aren't pertaining to the lesson that is being taught. It is also the responsibility of the educator to keep the students safe while they are using the Internet in classrooms. There are predators online that prey on children and certainly information parents wouldn't want their children to know about. It is important to remove legal and ethical problems when introducing technology in the classroom.
