ABSTRACT
Technology has increased so dramatically since the first edition of this book in 2006 that an entire chapter was added to address such issues in 2014. In the third edition (2021), this chapter has expanded further to include five cases that address legal issues, ranging from cell phones and cyberbullying to misuse of blogs and email accounts to sexting (i.e., sending nude or semi-nude photos of oneself over the Internet). The ethical implications relating to these cases are particularly profound; they relate to the ways people treat one another, a potential loss of civility in society, a disturbing infringement of privacy rights, and what school leaders can do to encourage moral behavior when information moves so quickly as to seem uncontrollable.
