need for teacher education to make a difference. Journal of Digital

In this short article many topics are covered including cybersafety,
cybersecurity and most importantly related to this assignment, cyberethics.
Amongst this article the authors discuss the importance of integrating
technology into the classroom but they also stress the code of ethics and
behavior that is to be expected from those who are using technology in the
classrooms.

No. 1, pp. 1280-1288).
This well written article stresses the point that we need to use
technology for constructional things such as strengthening students
problem-solving skills. The article is written over research performed on a
group of individuals involved in an online learning course in order to identify
cyberethics problems themselves.

This article overviews the dilemmas faced by rapidly increasing use of


technology in the classrooms and in school systems. With all this new
technology there have been many changes in the way the students perform
a task or work together on group projects.

Part 5: Information Literacy

Being informationally literate means that an individual has a set of abilities that allow
them to recognize when information is needed and be able to locate and evaluate the information
effectively for your purpose. Becoming information literate is not always easy and is defiantly
something that is done over time and not in one spurt. It takes problem solving and critical
thinking skills to develop an informationally literate mindset. It is important not only for
students but even as teachers to be well in touch with the previously discussed 21st Century
skills. These skills will be used daily to keep up with lessons, grading techniques and even to
communicate with fellow teachers, students or even students parents. Without the knowledge of
how to access, evaluate and effectively use information you will, as a teacher, become incapable
of effectively and efficiently instructing your students in a way that they are already
preprogrammed to learn.
Overall it is very important to efficiently instruct your students in a way that they
understand and it has become obvious in recent years that this way is through the use of
technology in and outside of the classroom. Without the knowledge of how to find, evaluate and
use information a teacher will most likely struggle to maintain their classrooms in an organized
manner and will not be effectively using the technology that we have available for use today.
