Unit of Work: Online Ethics This is a brand new, relevant and engaging scheme of work for both KS3 and KS4 (approx. age 14) It was created in response to an increasing call for exploration into the declining standards of behaviour being demonstrated online. Though there are clear links with PSHE, it is a revolutionary unit, as nothing like this has been done before in the field of Philosophy of Ethics. Lessons include: What is ‘netiquette’/online ethics? Is the internet an extension of society? Is Situation Ethics a useful approach to online ethics? Is Utilitarianism a useful approach to online ethics? What are the dangers of online pornography? What are the different attitudes to online pornography? (applying situationism and utilitarianism to issues of online pornography) What are the different dilemmas of online gaming? Do violent games make violent players? What is being done to protect users online? (and is it enough?) Is online vigilantism effective? Each lesson is intended as a double (roughly one and a half hours per lesson) however, due to time restrictions and the embedded support in the corresponding lesson sheets, could also be taught in a minimal one hour. This scheme of learning has been devised explicitly to support the Recovery Curriculum, interleave learning with previously-learned units (Philosophy and Ethics) and support cognition through interleaving techniques.
