Ethics and Technology. What is it and why should we be concerned?


Experiencing the information technology innovations within the last twenty years has absolutely captivated educational leaders in many ways.  As school leaders, we are focused on developing students holistically to become future leaders and great achievers of English, Math, Science, and Technology.  Let's not forget that we are also focused on exposing students to ethical decision-making which leads students to becoming responsible and respectful members of society.  When Ethics and Technology come together, the outcome can result in either:
 Mona Lisa
 or Frankenstein.


Ethics are moral principles that govern our behavior, and technology has fundamentally altered our lives.  Imagine marrying ethics and technology and reproducing an offspring of quite unique characteristics that push the boundaries of ethical behavior in a technological realm.  Now imagine this taking place among the adolescent population within a high school setting, and I believe you can probably begin to conceptualize why we all should be concerned.

This blog will dive into various ethical issues that are related to information technology from a school leader's perspective.
