Moral issues in ICT: handout resource
10 Aug2009
This is an event – the first resource to be posted born of collaboration! Debbie Jones – @teach_ict – of Teach-ICT fame very kindly put together two of the handouts in this set covering the moral issues in ICT.
The social & moral implications of ICT are something we both have a passion for, yet I remember being taught about them when I was a student in a desperately dry, detached way. These handouts are designed to generate discussion – I’ll be using them with my OCR Unit 8 groups, splitting in to groups of 3 for discussion, then opening the floor up to the class after they describe their scenario. Subjects covered:
- File sharing
- Plagiarism
- Snooping
- Web addiction
- Censorship
- Web medicine
I hope they’re useful – we had fun making them!

Hi James,
Thanks for these resources, they are excellent!
I think they would provide excellent discussion activities. I also like your resource showing the young web millionnaires. I too find that students find it too easy to dismiss ICT’s usefulness and value in today’s society.
I am working on a few generic classroom displays such as “Use of ICT in Society” and will let you have a copy once they are complete.
Keep up the good work!

Looking forward to seeing anything you’ve made… the mantra on Twitter is “sharing is caring”
