What are Ethics and how do they relate to Directing Technology?

Ethics can be described as:

1. The discipline dealing with what is good and bad and with moral duty and obligation.
2. A set of moral principles (a theory or system of moral values).
3. The principles of conduct governing an individual or a group.
4 A consciousness of moral importance.
5. A guiding philosophy.

As Director of Technology, situations may arise at any time and in any degree of frequency which require the existence of a strong code of ethics to be addressed properly. These situations can vary from a personal nature to a professional issue, a legal concern or a sexual matter (among others). Each one may present a dilemma to the Technology Director in regards to how the situation should be handled.

Establishing and enforcing a clear code of ethics within the district should be a primary consideration of the Technology Director while creating guidelines which are to be embraced by the administration, staff and students.
