Welcome back!  Today we begin with a wonderful post from Dr. Jackie Gerstein at User Generated Education.  The article, "Teaching Ethics in the Age of Technology" discusses how ethical decision making should be on the list of 21st century skills that we teach our students, and on the interaction between technology and ethics.  It's an excellent article and well worth the read!

Next up, as part of Getting Smart's "Smart Student Blogging Contest" which invites students to share lessons and learning experiences, a 6th grader named Isabella offers her thoughts on "Tech, Tools and Robotics."  Isabella discusses her experiences in the robotics club and how the lessons she's learned there have helped shape her education.  And, if you haven't check out the "Smart Student" series, it's great.

Over at Edudemic, Katie Lepi has a great new article entitled, "It's Time to Start Teaching About Sustainable Technology."  The post focuses around an infographic which examines how technology is effecting our environment and how our technology recycling habits might need to be changed.  Definitely worth taking a look!
