Identify social, ethical, and human issues that are important with respect to multimedia.
The bigger issue I see for multimedia projects is copyright laws, ensuring the students have a solid understanding of what they can do legally; however another issue I see is making sure students from all different backgrounds, in terms of nationality and economics, have access to multimedia tools.
Something I don't understand about this section is why appreciating other cultures is an issue in terms of multimedia projects. The example is about using multimedia tools to represent and value diversity, which is cool; I think it's a great idea, but I don't understand why that is relevent to the point the book made about evaluating diverse abilities in the classroom.
I think this objective applies to the classroom, because multimedia projects are becoming more essential to work environments. Students need to be able to acquire the skills to be successful, and if some kids do not have these tools at home, the school should try to accomodate them. Students also need to know the rules applicable to these tools. Understanding copyright laws will keep students safer from legal implications and threats.
