While the Internet offers great access to valuable resources, it also provides opportunities for inappropriate content and interactions. On April 18th, Joe Showker will join us to discuss the subject of digital ethics.
Showker has given many lectures regarding this subject. A summary of a prior lecture given to students, as well as more information about him, can be found at https://www.jmu.edu/news/2016/04/22-showker-digital-ethics-mm-spr-sum.shtml.
