STANDARD 4 – Social, Ethical, and Human Issues
The competent teacher will apply concepts and skills in making decisions concerning the social, ethical, and human issues related to computing and technology. The competent teacher will understand the changes in information technologies, their effects on workplace and society, their potential to address life-long learning and workplace needs, and the consequences of misuse.
Artifact: Technology Paper
Reflective Statement:
The artifact I chose for this standard is an essay that describes how technology affects the physical development of children, explores solutions to the negative consequences its use can have, and discusses the ethical perspectives regarding this issue.
In this essay, I discover and discuss the social, ethical, and human issues related to technology and its affects on children’s physical development. I briefly go over the history of technology and account for the major technological advances that have occurred within society, especially in the realm of children’s play. Towards the end of the essay I explain the various solutions and strategies that can be used to combat the negative affects that not only I, as a competent teacher, can implement in my classroom, but also society as a whole can implement in the community or personal households.
This artifact has helped me grow as a teacher by guiding me into discovering new information regarding technology and its affects on a child’s physical development. I learned a lot about the various forms of technology, the many affects it can have on a child’s physical well-being, and the preventative tactics that should be implemented while using technology whenever possible. I thought that I knew all of the affects that technology can have on the physical development of a child, but after this essay I have learned that there is much more than what I previously believed. I now know that as a teacher, I must keep these affects and preventative solutions regarding technology use in mind for my students so that I can adequately guide them into proper use of technology.
