Advocate, model, and teach safe, legal, and ethical use of digital information and technology, including respect for copyright, intellectual property, and the appropriate documentation of sources. Just like with research strategies, ethical use of technology is something that I also need to work on integrating into classrooms in my school (and I'm finding some great books to help me do it!). In the meantime, there are other things that I do to help protect students' safety and identity. I vet thoroughly any websites and services that we are interested in using with our students, including examining privacy policies and looking for COPPA compliance or other certification to show that students' personal information is safe. I take measures to force-enable Google SafeSearch on all of the devices that students use in the building. I also use software like Apple Remote Desktop and GoGuardian to monitor student activity on devices to ensure that students are on task and not accessing inappropriate websites. |
