I'm teaching grade 6/7 students in a CBL ( computer based learning) class and our unit of work is all about getting a job or business and paying bills etc - Real Life stuff! Anyway One boy used a photo of another to advertise his business. Thats great, but, he didn't ask the student or even tell him about it. The student saw his picture and read the comment replying "I didn't say that! Who said you could use my picture?" Of course we are now revising copyright and IP values etc. The students download from the net (inter and intra) for many research projects and they reference their work etc, however I don't believe they really understand the true meaning of their actions. They just do it because I said thats how it is done? Now with this incident having a direct impact on them do they begin to understand? I think so, as the boy whose picture was used has cried out with saying "I'll sue and claim compensation!". The teenagers you mentioned, made the point about the music being accessible and therefore its not stealing, is also viewed by my students. They argue that they, 'pay to access the net and they pay to download through their service providers so they have paid.' I strongly believe that the kids of today have to learn by doing/experience as much as possable. Technology is rapidly evolving and by them being immursed in it from a young age could only aid them for the future. Thank you :-) Hi Brett:I can relate to this.

The response of these kids does show they may be off the mark where adults would like them to be as far as ethics, but the heart of your question is what can industry do. I think the most effective way to help people of any age learn about ethics is to use real world case studies. Perhaps industry leaders could contribute to a digital storytelling archive of real-world ethics dilemmas or situations that could be used by teachers and students as case studies to debate and discuss. The best ethics lessons I had in school were from real world case studies. We typically used case studies we read about in a book, but it could be even more engaging to have digital stories from real people to use as the dialog starters. This could be a great grant project. I am also very interested in ethics and promoting authentic ethics education / character development in school, which goes far beyond programs like "respect is our word of the week." In addition to helping provide digital stories for ethical case studies, industry leaders could also avail themselves for videoconferences with students about ethical issues in business and elsewhere. Great question. I think this fits into a construct of "global citizenship" which I've blogged about a bit before and have wanted to do a skypecast on. I'll pursue this thread more on my blog in the weeks to come, likely. Thanks for the thoughts and questions! :-) Brett: I think we have to do a lot more than just tell kids, “That’s wrong, don’t do that.” The response of these kids does show they may be off the mark where adults would like them to be as far as ethics, but the heart of your question is what can industry do.
