Abstract
This paper introduces the contents of the“Information Technology Morals”course, one of the computer classes taught by the author in junior high school and high school. Although topics are taken from reported news and events occurring in society, that same society reveals people which are inappropriate as role models for the students. Given that students of this age show healthy curiosity yet also a sense of inferiority and an unwillingness to stand out from their peers, devices are needed to instill a sense of morals into these impressionable adolescents. Based on what the author has felt in the classroom, suggestions are given on problems which arise and on following related developments. With society changing daily and with the influence of evolving IT communications the need is felt for fresh education material which transcends the classroom, and the very teachers themselves need to be thought about in the context of teaching“Information Technology Morals”.
