ABSTRACT

Ethics on a Cloudy Day: Developing Action Plans for Technologically Cloudy Questions brings ethics training into the modern era. Participants learn how to develop an Ethical Action Plan for responding to ethical dilemmas and “get their head out of the clouds.” Ethical questions are presented reflecting new challenges and cloudy situations arising as a result of technological advances. Distribute the Ethical Action Plan Handout to participants and review the steps to formulating an Ethical Action Plan. Distribute the Ethical Action Plan Example #1 and #2 Handouts to participants. Review each of the steps in the examples. Distribute to participants the Ethical Use of Technology Questions Handout. Assign one question to each group, so each group has a different dilemma. Instruct the groups to complete an Ethical Action Plan in writing. Ask each group to present their Ethical Action Plan to the group as a whole.
