Teachers Notes

Teachers’ Notes Plagiarism

Introduction

These resources are provided to support the teaching and learning of ethical and moral issues within ICT. The materials provide an introduction to the main concepts and should be used in conjunction with other resources and sound classroom teaching.

The main purpose of these resources is to spark a discussion and develop a debate in the classroom about the ethical and moral issues of emerging technologies.

Many of the resources are meant to be contentious and if used with discretion, enable pupils to explore their personal opinions, share their views with others, clarify their attitudes and help them reach their own moral and ethical conclusions.

Resources have been designed to be short stimulus units which will take up little lesson time, but will generate responses from pupils.

1. Click once in the answer box to select ‘patent’ and twice to select ‘copyright’.

2. The activity may be used by pupils individually or led by the teacher on a whiteboard or screen. The class decision on patent or copyright should be upheld before clicking the Check answer button. Any errors should then be revisited and explained. If teachers wish to provide more detail about copyright and patents then here are some websites and resources;
