Mississippi Districts Training Teachers In Technology Ethics

The Mississippi Press (6/13, Wilkinson) reports on a new set of ethics codes in Mississippi related to "the proliferation of cell phones, Internet sites and social media," and describes the training policies that districts are implementing to train teachers. "In Ocean Springs, schools incorporated the state's code into their existing standards and educator contracts, according to School Board attorney Alwyn Luckey. Those existing standards are based on the National Education Association's code of ethics for teachers and administrators, created in 1975 and updated as society evolves."
