This weeks journal comes form The Journal of Educational Technology Systems, and the section I chose is by Marion G. Ben-Jacob. In the writing, Jacob discusses the ethical side of the whole internet debates on both the provider and users point of view. Not only is the ethical dilemma looked into but also the problems with regulation and over reaching and conflicting with people’s privacy. This all being the articles topic of how is the use of technology being ethically observed and regulated. The type of data needed would be quantitative and probably best collected through the use of surveys online and maybe some person to person interviews, as well as expert opinions. One data collections that Jacob did was a classroom control group where he has a teacher give definitions and background and gave who supports and disapproves of the topics provided. Then after Jacobs went through and discussed each of the students answers. I think this way of collecting data is very interesting and I am curious to see if it would be effective for my data collection.
