 * __Indicators__**

It is crucial that leaders have an understanding of legal, social, and ethical issues when it comes to using technology. These issues are important because it helps determine what is appropriate for students while they are using technology to learn. These issues also help leaders know that it is okay for their students to use certain technology and inappropriate to use other forms of technology. No technology is necessarily inappropriate for students to use, but it is important that teachers set boundaries, limitations, and guidelines, for their students so that technology is not abused. Many teachers have had legal issues and problems when it comes to technology and education. This is because they do not necessarily have a good understanding of legal, social, and ethical guidelines. They cross these boundaries on different occasions and they run into legal issues as a result. In my classroom, my students will use technology to enhance their education in every way possible, but they will not abuse it.
