Ethics
Find out about the ‘etiquette’ in your school/country on sharing information of pupils.
To use and publishing a photograph, film, sound or text on the web can imply a violation. You have to consider the following:
- The sensitivity of the information.
- What context the information will be found in.
- For what purpose it will be published.
- What the publication may lead to.
Don´t forget to take in consideration to the pupil and ask for permission to take pictures, record sound/film. If you get permission ask how to use and for how long.
