Teaching Online Ethics

Image
By
"So how do we as educators help students respect other people's work and not abuse it in this era of accessible information? The answer is, of course, to teach ethical academic behavior in a targeted way, to model it yourself, and to hold students accountable."...see Heather Wolpert-Gawron's blog post.

This is a great resource, she includes a scavenger hunt that she uses with her students.

    It is a very interesting idea of the value of information in relation to its ease of access.

    The issue of online ethics seems increasingly appropriate for our tech savvy generation. Discussions and activities can supply students with tools they can apply to "real world" issues they continue to face.

www.zygotebody.com used to be Google Body using Zygote's imagery... now Zygote owns it. Use FireFox!!! You can switch from male to female, select a body system like skeletal, cardiovascular, etc. Rotate and zoom... The left side has sliders to move from one system to another, or slide horizontally to turn on and off systems. You can have several on at once. You can search for things by name, and pin them so they stay put when switching systems. I noticed that when a pin or label has a blue + sign, clicking it expands that label to more sub-labels that you can pin. Try this with the brain stem! The program requires WebGL, which seems to not be included in IE...and doesn't work on iPad's safari browser either. But works fine in FireFox!

LanSchool does Polling!

By
All teachers should be using LanSchool to monitor and restrict what students are doing in class... there are other more appropriate times to shop for prom dresses, work on art, and look at pictures of their favorite stars. But POLLING is a really great way to engage all of your students, and for you to use formative assessment. Simply use the VOTE button on LanSchool to send everyone a question, and you see the anonymous results as they are submitted. You can even prepare questions ahead of time and load on the fly so you are not typing them in while students wait. Please ask Laura or David (or Jamie!) how to do this. Or give it a try in class, it's simple. We have other ways to poll students , like PollEverywhere .com, but they take more time to setup. However PollEverywhere can be a web link that students access 24/7 for out-of-class polling.
