Section Two: Social Ethical, Legal, and Human Issues

In this section I will demonstrate my knowledge of the social, ethical, legal,and human issues that surround the use of technology with students.

Assistive Technology Midterm
1) The artifact below is my midterm exam from Adaptive/Assistive Technology for Education class (ET 640). This exam demonstrates my knowledge of adaptive technology to use when working with disabled students. Additionally, the exam explores the laws and processes in place to help those students with disabilities. This knowledge will certainly allow me to improve student learning and create a more equitable learning environment.

This assessment clearly demonstrates my knowledge of adaptive and assistive technology. Questions 8, 9, and 10 analyze and recommend appropriate technology resources.

TF-VI.E
This assessment includes an explanation of the Individuals with Disabilities Improvement Act(2004) that promotes equitable access to technology resources for all students and teachers.

TF-VI.D
This copyright memo I wrote to my principal recommends appropriate technology resources to ensure safe and healthy use of technology.



Computer Use Policy
3)This artifact is a Computer Use Policy that I created for students in my Role of Technology Specialist class (ET680). This computer use policy uses kid friendly language for students to understand and includes proper computer use rules. This policy was created to promote ethical computer use among students in my current school.

My Computer Use Policy lists appropriate computer use rules that support current copyright laws. It is easy to read so students will not have an issue understanding the rules.
