  Case: On-line holiday shopping
During your planning period you have just finished grading homework and entering all of your grades into the computer grading program and have time left. You use the remaining time to do some on-line holiday shopping. Were any code of ethics principles violated?
Solution: (Rates are posted for this solution!)
There is a question of your morality using the time you are being paid for to complete a personal transaction. You should be aware that your IT department can monitor everything that comes across your computer and reports back to administration. You should expect to be spoken to with a warning from your principals if they are unhappy with the situation. You should act professionally at all times.
Georgia standard (j)10 could possibly cover this situation.

Comments: I agree with this statement because you should always your time by making sure that you are getting ready for another lesson or a future days planning period. Even though you are done with the grading it is essential that you continue to do your best to not use alternative website as the IT department can track the computer and it would look bad if you are shopping when you should be working on a company school computer.

Comments: It is important for the teacher to realize that the IT department is monitoring what they are doing on the computer and should instead take that time to use the computer for educational purposes or see if another teacher needs help with something. Teachers always have something to do and should not just be on the computer shopping.
