    This was a very interesting and informative article. Comparing the punishment of taking away the Internet to taking away writing utensils was great. I know I use it as much if not more than writing utensils now. I think they had some great stories they shared and I think the solution of integrating ethical behavior throughout the curriculum is a good idea.

    Problem is, it's 1998. I should have gotten something more recent

    Eventhough, this article is from 1998 it still presents ethical issues that are relevant. I wish schools start teaching classes on Internet ethics, copyright and online bullying early on. These question are going to be very critical to education and the future of citizenship. I think about how information is shared on Twitter in the current presidential election cycle and how the general public seem to not be bothered with checking facts. We have to work even harder to teach critical thinking and how to sort opinion for verifiable facts.

    Great point about teaching critical thinking and the idea that taking away access to the internet is not an effective way to teach them to recognize the consequences of their actions. Often, I know in my classroom it is much easier to just take away the electronic devices than taking the time to stress the importance of ethical behavior online or offline.
