Moral+Compass







==//**With the changes and advancement of technology in society, children are becoming increasingly exposed to safety issues relating to this technology. The use and access to mobile phones, smart phones and the World Wide Web (www) places a greater responsibility on children and the choices they make. Educators have an increasing responsibility to educate and “…prepare students to be members of a digital society or digital citizens” (Ribble, Bailey & Ross, 2004, p.7). Being part of this ‘cyber world’ raises questions and challenges children's decision making skills about what is right and what is wrong. Teaching students to recognise and evaluate their own ‘moral compass’ will provide them with the skills and resources to develop into ethical digital citizens. A moral compass assists students to listen to their inner voice and Ribble and Bailey argue this is best developed through “…discussion and dialogue” (2005, p.37).**//== ==//**This unit of work has been developed around the concept of a moral compass to enable students to make safe and secure decisions whilst utilising technology. Our lessons will allow students to develop their own moral compass with an understanding of appropriate boundaries yet cater for individual differences. Through research, discussion, exploration and evaluation students will be able to recognise important elements of being ethical digital citizens. Technology programmes such as Windows Movie Maker, Wordle, Interactive whiteboards and Flip cams will be integrated throughout the unit.**//== ==//**Our unit of work is aimed at VELS level 4. This is an integrated unit of work that incorporates various domains such as; The Arts, English, Information and Communications Technology, Interpersonal Development and Civics and Citizenship.**//==
