This article discusses what teachers needed to teacher their students about cyber-ethics. The author goes over the basic descriptions of software, copyright, and computer viruses. Then, the author discusses the main rule to teach students, DON’T COPY. The last few sections of this article give resources teachers can use, ways to discuss cyber-ethics with students and some statistics about software piracy and children and computer usage.
This article reminded me of my last Instructional Technology class where we discussed copyright. I now understand that I have the copyright to listen to CDs I purchase, but not to copy them. I think if we inform our students about copyright and the importance of cyber-ethics, then we won’t have as many viruses and computer problems. At the Boys & Girls Club I worked at, we did not allow children to download anything on the computers and I think that should be school policy as well
