Q1. Which of the Ten Ethical Computing Guidelines do you think students violate most often?

I think students violate the Ninth Commandment most: "Thou shalt think about the social consequences of the program you are writing or the system you are designing." While students may not write programs or design systems, they are often creating posts and content that are visible to many people. Many students (and adults alike) post online or create something without thinking about possible consequences. How will it be viewed by someone who does not get the full context? Could this hurt someone? Could it be used against you?

I think violations of the Ninth Commandment of Computer Ethics occur so much because it is so easy and common to post something online. It can take just a few clicks or taps to create and post web content. Since it is so quick and so easy, consequences often are not considered. It is also possible that young students do not know and understand the consequences of certain actions. Children are given access to these platforms, but they often do not know consequences that can come with their use.

Educating students and enforcing safe and ethical computer practice is crucial. This cannot just be done at home; it should be part of the curriculum! Students should not just be learning how to use computers for school purposes. They also should learn healthy ways to use social media and other online resources. From a young age, students are exposed to digital content. They need to learn (in a non-scary way!) how to create, use, and consume digital content safely and ethically.
