Goodplay project

Goodplay project is essential nowadays given the fact that there is too often a lack of ethics within online exchanges. This project's main objective is to explore the ethical character of young people’s activities in the new digital media. They seek to understand how young people conceptualize their participation in virtual worlds and the ethical considerations that guide their conduct. Five themes are explored in relation to ethics: sense of identity, sense of privacy, ownership and authorship, credibility, and participation. The Goodplay project's main focus is to develop classroom exercises to encourage high school-aged youth to reflect on the ethical implications of their online activities.


Sense of identity: Sometime, we feel protected by the fact that we are anonymous and we tend to be brutally honest with others and tend to even use our anonymity to release personal frustrations on others. It is important to consider ethics if we want to fully enjoy the potential of virtual exchanges. It would be a very depressive digital world if the only things we would find of blogs if comments filled with viciousness.

Sense of privacy: It is important for internet users to know the importance and the consequences of privacy on the net. It is a way to protect themselves against online predators, and robbery. To decide to not be anonymous has certain inconvenient and restrictions. Never display your personal information like phone number, address, and even events you may attends in a near future.

Parents need to be active observers when it comes to their children’s activities on the internet if they are to completely trust their children’s sense of responsibility when it comes to privacy. They have got to maintain a good communicative relationship with them in order to agree on respecting their children privacy.

It is important to remember that blogging is all about sharing therefore; make sure that you share things you would like to also receive.
