Scenario #1 – A student sends a harassing e-mail to another student. The receiving student
retaliates with a “flaming e-mail.” Is this the appropriate response? If not, what would be? Don’t respond to threatening or inappropriate messages. Report persistent abusers to your parents or system administrator.
Scenario #2 – When hanging out with friends, one of the students makes a call on their cellphone and carries on a conversation while still within the group. Is this ok? Why or why not? Yes, it is okay to do so but it would be rude.
Scenario #3 – A student logs on to a free file sharing website and downloads a song they just heard on the radio. Is this ok? Why or why not? If you download and distribute copyrighted music, videos, games or other materials over the Internet without proper payment or permission, you are stealing.
Scenario #4 – A student follows a questionable link to a website and downloads a malicious script which releases a Trojan Horse virus on to the school network. Is the student to blame? Why or why not? He should've asked the teacher for permission before downloading the link to the website.
Scenario #5 – An hour before class, a student remembers that a writing assignment is due. The student goes to the library, logs on to a website, and copies/pastes the information. Is this ok? Why or why not? No, Its not alright because its plagiarism.
Scenario #6 – At home, a student uses a software package to copy movies and games from DVD’s for his or her friends. Is this within fair-use laws? Explain. If you download and distribute copyrighted music, videos, games or other materials over the Internet without proper payment or permission, you are stealing.
Scenario #7 – A student logs into the school website to download the syllabus they lost. Are they breaking any rules or laws? Explain. You should get permission even though you are not breaking any laws... I think.
Scenario #8 – Students spend a good amount of time in class creating a web page for a school sponsored fundraiser. However, there website is not usable by certain individuals with disabilities. Was this disrespectful or wrong of them? It was disrespectful.
