In Janelle Merani’s classroom, there is very little technology.One child’s mother does not agree and wonders if Janelle iscomputer illiterate. The mother is concerned that her child is notgaining experience or skills with technology and requests aparent-teacher conference. At the conference, Janelle tells theparent that she does not like the computer and does not see anyvalue in incorporating technology into her teaching.
In this situation, what should Janelle, the teacher, do? Is it possible for Janelle to convince the parent that her son doesnot need the technology to engage in learning opportunities at theschool? Is it possible that Janelle can involve the littleboy’s mother in such a way that will cause her to discover thewonderful learning opportunities her little boy is missing? What principles and ideals apply in thissituation?
Search for the appropriate ethical ideal or principle related tothat issue. The notion that the family input and involvement in theclass should include technology is troubling to Janelle. How canshe develop a relationship with this family?
