Chapter 12 Reflection

Chapter 12 Reflection

This chapter is about the issues in implementing technology in the classroom. One of the issues is that it takes strategic planning to implement technology. It is necessary to make wise and cost-effective technology decisions. Then the chapter goes on talking about legal issues such as copyright, fair use, privacy, acceptable use, and software privacy. Then it talks about the social issues, such as the digital divide, which relates to socio-economic status, ethnics, gender, and education levels. Then it went into ethical issues, such as freedom of speech, privacy, academic dishonesty. I never realized all of the issues that there are when implementing technology into the classroom. With all of the emerging technology there are going to be bigger issues. I thought that this chapter was very enlightening. I will make sure that when I plan on implementing technology into the classroom that I will work with the other teachers to prevent issues from arising.
