"Students who are exposed to, rather than shielded
from, basic questions about technology will become more responsible
citizens -- and in the case of engineers, better professionals."
- Howard Segal
An OWIKIT first! A resource for secondary school and college computer
teachers who try to help students understand complex value conflicts and
ethical choices associated with electronic communications. The
"National Educational Technology in Education (ISTE), in collaboration
with the U.S. Department of Education, lists as one of six foundation
standards the need for students to "understand the ethical, cultural,
and societal issues related to technology." "Societal Impacts of
Computerization" provides resources to address this important, but
often neglected, curriculum goal. It synthesizes recent scholarship in
socio-technology into easy to understand concepts and provides activities
that promote critical thinking and personal engagement. A user site license
allows teachers to photocopy or electronically post the resource on a local
area network. Over 40 master pages and a CD that is PC or MAC compatible.
Flexible, non-sequential curriculum format.
