This document discusses the roles of educators in developing student ethics for online environments. It touches on key issues like the blurring of public and private information online due to features like persistence, searchability and scalability. Educators should critically engage with emerging technologies and issues, and support learners to become ethical practitioners by encouraging reflexive practice that connects personal and professional technology use, as well as participation in the active social shaping of technologies.
