Legal Issues in the Digital Age

Implementation of technology, whether in the classroom, school, or district, involves a number of legal issues. Some of these issues, such as copyright violations, were of concern in education before the arrival of technology. Technology implementation and the ease of accessing and incorporating digital data, including copyrighted text, graphics, video, and audio, exacerbated the problem other issues, such as the inequity of access to technology, sometimes called the digital divide, have come about because of technology. Other important areas include ethical question. Each of these issues affects how technology is ultimately implemented at all levels of an educational institution, from the classroom to the entire district. Teachers should be aware of implantation issues and act accordingly with professional ethics.
