Standard VI: Social, Ethical, and Human Issues
Teachers understand the social, ethical, legal, and human issues surrounding the use of technology in PK-12 schools and apply that understanding in practice
What Teachers Should be Able to do:
- Model and teach legal and ethical practice related to technology use.
- Apply technology resources to enable and empower learners with diverse backgrounds, characteristics, and abilities.
- Identify and use technology resources that affirm diversity.
- Promote safe and healthy use of technology resources.
- Facilitate equitable access to technology resources for all students.
How this Standard Relates to TRED 701:
This is the "diversity" standard, calling for fair and equal access to technology for all types of learners. The connection to TRED 701 is not quite as straightforward here. I chose to focus on the projects which helped us to learn more about technology; what resources are available and how we can help all of our students effectively use them.
