15. The seven pieces of the ethics, social impacts puzzle This chapter looks at the seven areas of social and ethical concern that emerge from ISTE’s administrator, teacher and student standards. PART IV: ISTE Standards - Revisited
16. Chapter 9. The seven pieces to the puzzle Overview PART IV: ISTE Standards - Revisited ISTE Standards revisited With our crash course in technology investigation complete, let’s take another look at the ISTE standards. Synthesizing many standards. You will recall that ISTE has several sets of standards related to social and ethical issues. To begin with, they have separate standards for administrators, teachers and students. In addition, although Teacher Standard IV provides general direction for all teachers, ISTE created performance profiles for four specific phases of a teacher’s career: general education preparation, professional teacher preparation, classroom internship, and first-year teaching. Each profile addresses specific issues about “the social, ethical, legal and human issues” associated with technology use in the classroom.
17. Chapter 9. The seven pieces to the puzzle Overview PART IV: ISTE Standards - Revisited ISTE Standards revisited, cont’d You will also recall that it is because of all of the standards that exist in this area that I synthesized them so that we could all have a common set of talking points, regardless of our position in our school community. The synthesis revealed the following categories, that fit together like pieces to a puzzle: 1. social needs, cultural identity, global community 2. equity, diversity, access, assistive technology 3. legalities, ethics, copyright 4. privacy and security 5. safety, health 6. media bias 7. personal responsibility, appropriate tech use

Editor's Notes
ISTE Performance Indicators ISTE provides a number of performance indicators for teachers, each of which addresses a different stage of a teaching career. Links to provided below: beginning pre-service teachers - prospective teachers - recent graduates from a teacher education program - teachers at the end of their first year - seasoned teachers, general standards for all teachers (??) When we look at specific issues for standard IV we will look at performance standards for all of these groups. Other ISTE standards There are also standards for students and administrators that address social, ethical, legal and human issues. These are important to know as they will inform your teaching, as well as how you what you are teaching fits into the overall administrative goals of your institutions. Links to these include the following: student standards administrator standards What’s your philosophy? Click here examples of teacher philosophies of educational technology. What’s your school’s technology culture? Each school or educational environment has a unique technology culture. Typically, schools differ in their areas of technology specialty, their regard for technology, how they plan for technology and how they involve their educational community members in helping develop technology awareness, skills and perspectives. It is important to understand your school’s technology culture in order to be successful. To do so, try conducting an inventory of your school’s culture using Assessing a school’s technology culture . This casts you in the role of anthropologist, seeking to understand your school as a culture through the lens of technology adoption and organization. Whether you conduct the survey formally or informally, it will help you see more clearly your schools commitment to and understanding of technology in education.

Sometimes this element is the most difficult for teachers to address in the classroom. Some teachers feel that this is not their responsibility to teach students to be informed, careful consumers. Because online purchasing is becoming the norm, students should be taught to understand this process. Anyone who is actively working, playing, or purchasing items online is a member not only of a digital community but of an economic community as well. Students need to understand that their actrions online can folow them throughout their life ( running up credit card debt).
