Electronic Communication
Ash (2009) as well as Uhler and Smith (2012) provide reasons as to why policies are in place regulating or restricting teacher-student communication on electronic devices; in your discussion post explain these reason in detail. Also, consider the ethical arguments suggested in The Ethics of Teaching (Strike & Soltis, 2015) and the legal guidelines outlined in School Law: What Every Educator Should Know (Schimmel, Fischer, & Stellman, 2008). Finally, provide an evaluation of the policies. As you write consider the following:
- The relationship between a code of ethics and restrictions of particular technologies;
- The role of school-provided means of communication;
- The restriction of teachers’ personal electronic postings or communications that might result in classroom disruption;
- The permissibility of searching personal electronic devices, even those legitimately confiscated.
