Legal safe and ethical practice with ICT

 Incorporating ICT resources into the classroom presents issues in regards to the safe, ethical, and responsible uses of these technologies. In the educational environment it is important teachers apply codes of practice for safe, secure and responsible use of ICT's (ACARA, 2014). 

Teachers need to be vigilant and aware and should make sure they secure and protect digital and personal information. Teachers continually need to set values and review the use of ICT in terms of safety, ethical practice, legality and responsibility. And consider students rights and cultural differences and be sensitive of these when accessing and delivering information on-line. By continually reflecting and evaluating the use of ICT and its impact on students and other stakeholders teachers will ensure a range of preventative measures to address issues concerning the well-being and safety of all stakeholders.

Younie, Leask, & Burden (2015, p.235) advocate that "we need to raise awareness about online identity and digital footprints and highlight becoming responsible digital citizens."
