OTL 504 – Social, Ethical, and Legal Issues in 21st Century Learning
After reviewing West Linn – Wilsonville’s District Art and Technology High School
(ATHS) IT Agreement, it coincides closely with the ISTE Standards for students. Here are ten
rules that would be practiced, and allowing integration of technology in the classroom.
Handle computer equipment with care Students will use equipment responsibly and
return them to the right place.
No food or drinks around equipment Food and drinks are not allowed anywhere
around all computer equipment.
Log off Students will log off and return equipment to
its original state as they found it for the next
user.
Print when necessary Students are permitted to print for research,
homework, or educational purposes.
Work quietly Students will be respectful of others in a
shared work area.
Don’t change settings Students will not change screensaver, mouse
settings, or any original settings of the
computer.
Tell your teacher if you see something Students will tell an adult if something
inappropriate inappropriate is seen, read, or if witnesses
inappropriate use of technology.
Never give out your personal information Protect and maintain confidentiality of your
network username and password. Report to
administration if you suspect someone has
accessed your account to gain access to the
school network.
Never download anything without a teacher’s Students are not allowed to connect to outside
permission equipment; copy or install any software.
Only visit approved sites Students should not access non-educational
sites (Facebook, IM, etc.) during class time or
to take part in chat-rooms.

Plan Review
After reading through West Linn – Wilsonville District Art & Technology High School
IT Agreement, there are a few questions that are raised. What would a teacher do if an
inappropriate site has popped up accidentally, which cannot be deleted off the screen? What are
the steps that the teacher should take to avoid trailing other websites from appearing? Who
should be notified?
What should a student do if the attachment is more than 100 MB and it is for educational
purposes? Can an override be done of the 100 MB limitation to send the email? When working
on a school presentation project, PowerPoint, to send a video, how can it be sent to the teacher if
According to Gary Howard, learning is not about teaching students to think and behave
the same way but, to bring out the uniqueness and differences of students together in a safe and
environment for the student. In my classroom, I try to have student collaboration, group or paired
activities, and student presentations in class. Because of the lack of technology at school, it has
presentations or download videos related to the topic of the lesson at home to present them in
class using a projector. That is the extent of what I can do in my classroom. However, in my
ideal classroom, I would love to integrate technology as much as possible through the use social

media such as Twitter and Skype to communicate with other classrooms from other parts of the
world, Teen Ink to engage writing in class (Common Sense Education, n.d.). Twitter and Skype
would be my choices to use in the classroom. Twitter is informative, a good place to be informed
of what other classrooms do, also, a place where we could share what goes on in our classroom.
Students could collaborate with each other and hold discussions, share opinions and suggestions
with each other and read others’ points of views. Using Skype in class would encourage global
learning to learn and have exposure to other students around the country/world.
