KandiceLong EDUC 320 STANDARD III __Standard III Case Study__ 2) One legal and ethics issue was the teacher allowed the students to use anything off of the internet that they wanted to. That decision broke copyright laws which prohibits people from being able to take others work and call it their own. The second legal and ethics issue was that the teacher allowed the students to plagiarize: Because she put no restrictions on what they could get off line she opened the door to plagiarism. The third ethic and legal issue was the fact that the handicapped student didn’t have accommodations. According to ADA and IDEA the handicapped are to be put in the least restive environment, and accommodated when they go to school and, or work. 3) Health issues that rose up where: (1) the handicapped Child not having accommodations, the student should have had a particular space that was dedicated and provide for them. (2) The teacher leaving the class was a huge safety issue. The teacher should’ve asked an administrator or substitute to stand in her class while she completed hall duty. (3) One of the students accidentally trip and the monitor fell, that is a huge problem because if one of the students would’ve gotten hurt the school could’ve had a lawsuit. The teacher should have all wires and chords in a safe location, and the teacher should make sure the students walk and not run. 4) Security and privacy issues that were visible: (1) there were students who came in the class and read everyone’s grades out loud. The teacher should make sure she closes all her work and finishes what she is doing ten minutes before the class begins. (2)The teacher left the class and did not get a stand in while she was on hall duty. The teacher should’ve asked an administrator, or a substitute teacher to stand in while she was on hall duty so that the students would not be left unattended at any time. 5) One benefit of technology is, students are able to go beyond one book or one opinion, and they are able to quickly find exactly what they need for their projects. It has been much easier for me to do research on a person or place because of technology. Technology allows me to be able to look at a country or city live, and see what it looks like through satellite, books can’t do that. However the disadvantages are the students will depend on technology and usually copy and paste the information instead of reading the information. I know while I was in school there were many students who were caught simply copying and pasting from the internet instead of reading and writing in their own words.

__Reflection__
This assignment was very important, It showed me as a teacher in training the things I shouldn't do. It gave wonderful examples of teachers breaking rules that seemed to be minor, It also showed the result of what could happen if even minor rules are broken. This assignment will be in the back of my mind when I'm in my classroom.
