Students and Ethics

1. The Upswing

1.1. With holding students responsible (i.e signing code of ethics) - its brings personal accountability to the situation.

1.2. With correct teachings, it makes information available safer and with correct APA and Citations it removes the fear or committing an ethical faux pas.

2. Why I picked my Four

2.1. I picked the online article from Prohaska because it covered the psychological aspect of ethics and the student.

2.2. Another source I chose was a student vs ethics journal from a student council perspective.

2.3. Also with the literiture provided by Kafai, it explores the depth of learning on the endless source of the internet and how learning styles can take place with it.

2.4. Lastly, I chose the excerpt from Rooke that covers the pillars of Internet research ethics, which I found very fitting judging that this is a research paper about ethics and the student!
