Learning Right from Wrong in the Digital Age: An Ethics Guide for Parents, Teachers, Librarians, and Others Who Care about Computer-Using Young People
by Doug Johnson, 2003
Doug Johnson, my friend and colleague, writes books that are practical, readable, and incredibly insightful! Doug is a media specialist who “walks the walk.” All of his books are terrific, but since I helped proofread this one, it is my favorite. His "3 P's of Technology Ethics," Privacy, Property, and a(P)propriate use, are effectively and excitingly addressed through both discussion and instructional scenarios. Sidebar exercises focus on necessary considerations, such as online codes kids use, need-to-know terminology, and vital vocabulary differentiations of loaded and legal terms. The final section zeroes in on what teachers and parents must do to promote ethical behaviors and includes sample guidelines and rules, 16 detailed suggestions for designing LPP projects (Low Probability of Plagiarism), and a research question rubric. The 40 pages of appendixes include discussion-provoking ethics questionnaires, sample policies and use agreements, Web-page creation guidelines, and plagiarism guidelines.
