Identifying Ethical, Legal, and Theological Issues in Educational Technology

Identifying Ethical, Legal, and Theological Issues in Educational Technology

 

Understanding the muddiest point or overview may be unclear to some than others. It was clear on how Dr. David Brown explain the different term by breaking down the information for the students can learn how importance the information is. He explain some terms like plagiarism and security breach  that is taking place through the use of technology and computers. Plagiarism is the act or instance of using or closely imitating the language and thoughts of another author without authorization and the representation of that author's work as one's own, as by not crediting the original author: I believe that students need to learn more about plagiarism and why it is importance not to steal or take any information that is not his or hers. However the do’s and don’ts rules needs to be applied and enforce.  Dr. Tyler Veak explains the copyright information and why it is required by law.  Copyright law is the law that provides creators of original work the exclusive rights to it. Copyright is applicable to both material property (like consumer products) and intellectual property (like literary works). One thing that was muddiest or unclear to me was the copyright myths. Everything on the web can be used without permission. Just to think how some of these myths did started is unclear and where did they get their information from.

  1. Thanks for posting Chris,
    I think teachers need to require more research for classes and to review plagiarism strongly with students. As a student in the graduate program, I am glad they required the APA format books to help me cite things correctly and carefully. Citations are used to give credit to the creator of the work. If bibliographies and webliographies are taught; then people will technically see that these are owned and created by others.
    Commonplace in the classroom, I found this on the floor, so I picked it up and now it belongs to me. Why? I found it and so I picked it up and now it belongs to me. I paid money for this DVD copy so that means it’s alright to own, even if illegally copied and then presented at school.
    Permissions are a polite and ethical, as Christian we need to show ourselves different from the world as we hold to a different standard, God’s standard.

  2. Hi Christopher,
    I really enjoyed the clarity of your work this week. As Christians, we need to hold ourselves above reproach in all areas. This included areas where 'borrowing' others works are concerned. It so very important to cite where we 'borrow' out ideas and facts from. It would not be fair to the original author just to use their ideas without giving credit where it is due. I, myself, have several works that I copyrighted when I was much younger. I would be very disturbed if I heard my work on the radio under the cover of someone else's name. Good work!
    Blessings,
