Reflections+Module+3


 * //J. Koellner//**
 * //Reflection Prompt Module 3//** Reflect on what you plan to do to address the equity and ethics issues when applying technologies. You may share with us about what you have been doing by addressing these aspects and what you will change after learning in this module.

In my current role in education, the equity and ethics considerations I face are much different than those that a k-12 teacher might face. Because I work with degreed faculty at an institution that provides computers and Internet access to every employee, I don’t have to worry about a learner having access to the technology I am asking them to work with. Additionally, concerns regarding access to questionable content are negated by the fact that I work with a group of learners that consists entirely of adults. The main ethics consideration I encounter is how to best present and encourage my learners to follow the copyright laws. There are several ways I can, and have been, address these concerns. I believe the first way is to always model adherence to the laws when I present using both technology and printed materials. I can also assist my faculty in the preparation of presentations by identifying ways they can change their materials to follow the laws. Another important way I can help faculty understand and follow the copyright laws is to arrange faculty development sessions and provide access to information that they can utilize to better understand and follow the laws themselves.
