Ethical behavior during ethics lessons

This being Day 2 of Computer Literacy 2, we jumped right into the Whodunnit exercise. This lesson is my attempt to get students to really examine what they see online. Who put it there? Why did they put it there? How would you tell someone else where to find it (i.e., how would you cite it)? Well, when we got to the Wikipedia example and looked at the "History" of the article, the IP addresses responsible for the most recent changes (just moments old) looked strangely familiar. In fact, emanated from our very own lab. Fortunately, the (pretty goofy) damage seems to be fixed. So sorry to be the source of trouble for some kindly, more responsible editors. Sigh. Good thing we have a three-day weekend.
