RightandWrong

David Warlick - [|Right and Wrong on the Information Highway]

Information has changed in three major ways:
 * Information is networked - Often straight from author, not vetted
 * Information is digital - Able to change information, create music etc.
 * Information is overwhelming - Be selective about information used, information must compete for the audience – children learning how to communicate compellingly and effectively

Outcome: Students with ethical information habits
 * Information Reliability
 * Intellectual Property
 * Infrastructure Dependability – how to protect it

Problems: o Need to define plagiarism across grade and curriculum o Teacher model appropriate use and provide bibliography o Model [|citation machine] and include bibliography on handouts/curriculum resources o Flickr.com/creativecommons & site individual photo citation
 * educators are unaware
 * students take shortcuts
 * inaccurate information, unreliable, invalid
 * relevantly curious
 * productive use of resources and time
 * plagiarism
 * privacy
 * bias
 * appropriateness
 * software piracy
 * viruses & hacking

Need to start having discussions about copyright/plagiarism
