Ethics is responsible cyber social behavior according to the Cyber Citizen Partnership. Cyber ethics must be taught to children so that cyber crimes and injustice do not happen. Ethics in terms of cyberuse includes giving others credit, protecting others, and behaving appropriatly when using a computer.
I will teach my students the Ten Commandments of Cyber ethics. These ten commandments are: thou shall not use a computer to harm other people, thou shalt not interfere with other people's computer work, thou shall not snoop around in other people's files, thou shalt not use a computer to steal, thou shalt not use a computer to bear false witness, thou shalt not use or copy software for which you have not paid, thou shalt not use other people's computer resources without authorization, thou shalt not appropriate other people's intellectual output, thou shalt think about the social consequences of the program you write, and thou shalt use a computer in ways that show consideration and respect. I will teach these commandments in more kid friendly terms, but I want them to be aware of proper ettiquete when using a computer. Also, I will make sure my students have a basic understaning of technology and the proper uses of a variety of technological programs. As a teacher, I will monitor online use of my students during the school day and reinforce good computer use. I will also empower the students to create expectations to keep their computer use ethical and safe.
A pro of being ethical is that you are keeping others safe as well as yourself. Also, providing credit where credit is due honors the hard work of others. A con of being ethical is having to follow rules and restrictions on sites. Also, sometimes information of other people is desirable, but is not ethical to take. Being ethical is also how Christ calls us to be at all times.
