Subject: Teaching ethics resources
Students in my EPS 304 class at the University of Illinois developed seven
web sites dealing with ethical issues teachers need to deal with, especially
with regard to new technologies in the classroom. I think they are the best
sets of resources on these issues with the needs of educators in mind:
http://lrs.ed.uiuc.edu/wp/
An Educator's Guide to Access Issues
An Educators' Guide to Credibility and Web Evaluation
An Educator's Guide to Free Speech vs. Censorship
An Educator's Guide to Privacy
An Educator's Guide to Commercialism
An Educator's Guide to Intellectual Property, Copyright, and Plagiarism
An Educator's Guide to Computer Crime and Technology Misuse
They were just revised and updated by our students this summer, so they are
fairly comprehensive and up-to-date.

Teachers.Net Gazette article:
Why Teach? American Renaissance in the Hands of Educators - An essay
http://teachers.net/gazette/AUG02/hinkle.html
[excerpt] "The possibility of an American Renaissance exists only in the
hands of its educators at every level of the educational system.
A nation that makes an enemy of its own hands and feet can do
nothing but tear itself slowly to shreds."
Lynda L. Hinkle is a freelance writer, filmmaker and graduate student in
education at Rowan University, Glassboro NJ.

Global SchoolNet Foundation provides this service free of charge to its worldwide
education community. [PERMISSION TO RE-POST AS APPROPRIATE]
The "Friendship Through Education" program will be featured in the next
session of the TAPPED IN Social Studies forum, scheduled for 8 p.m.
Eastern (5 p.m. Pacific time), Wednesday, August 28. TAPPED IN is
located at http://www.tappedin.org.
Joining us for this session will be Ed Gragert of iEARN-USA, as well as
Bill Yotive from the UN CyberSchoolbus.
The Friendship Through Education (FTE) Consortium is committed to
creating opportunities that facilitate online and offline
interactions between the youth of the world, inside and outside of
classrooms, in order to build a culture of peace in which the
dignity and rights of all human beings are respected.
FTE was launched in September, 2001, with a commitment for expanded
links between U.S. schools and those in Islamic
countries, including Egypt, Indonesia, Qatar, Pakistan, Turkey, Bahrain
and Afghan refugee camps. Participants can link
students through letters, email, art, collaborative projects and
exchanges to foster mutual respect and greater understanding of
cultural differences.
The Consortium is made up of the following organizations, all with years
of experience in the field of global youth exchange:
UN CyberSchoolbus, epals.com, Global Schoolnet, iEARN, NetAid, Worldwise
Schools, People to People, Schools
Online, Sister Cities, and the US Fund for UNICEF
For more information, see http://www.friendshipthrougheducation.org
The FTE program was featured in a keynote session during NECC in June.
