Computer technology has become important in Family and Consumer Science (FCS) because it offers improved communication with capabilities such as the Internet that allows for a "more productive workplace" (Jones, 2003, p. 38). Kittross and Gordon (2003) alerted users that as computer technology evolves, there is a need for colleges and universities (the academy) to consider the ethical and moral implications and the rules related to its use. Ethical considerations related to the development and use of an electronic portfolio in FCS are identified in this article. Some of the issues addressed include: (1) plagiarism; (2) intellectual property; (3) illegal downloading, file sharing, or distribution of music and unlicensed film and television files; (4) identity theft; (5) unreliable, biased, and out-of-date information; (6) the distraction of electronic technology; and (7) flaming.
