Fundamental Challenge

One of the enduring concerns of ethics is determining who is deserving of moral consideration. Although initially limited to “other men,” ethics has developed in such a way that it challenges its own restrictions and comes to encompass what had been previously excluded entities. Currently, we stand on the verge of another fundamental challenge to moral thinking. This challenge comes from the autonomous and increasingly intelligent machines of our own making, and it puts in question many deep-seated assumptions about who or what can be a moral subject. This chapter examines whether machines can have rights. Because a response to this query primarily depends on how one characterizes “moral status,” it is organized around two established moral principles, considers how these principles apply to artificial intelligence and robots, and concludes by providing suggestions for further study.

This chapter presents the evolving definition, theoretical framework, and praxis of the i2Flex/blended methodology. The conditions for its success are shared, followed by a description of its implementation to date. Specific reference is made to perspectives, instruments, and processes that have served as pillars and guides for i2Flex, such as Boyer's scholarship of teaching, TPACK, the Community of Inquiry (CoI) framework, and the Quality Matters® course design standards and rubric. The chapter ends with reference to i2Flex implications for the teaching and learning in the elementary school during the COVID-19 pandemic, its impact to the school community, and its integration with the school culture.

Hearing Problems

The teachers of 2231 elementary school children were asked to identify those with known or suspected hearing problems. Following screening, the data were compared. Teachers identified 5% of the children as hearing-impaired, while screening identified only 3%. There was agreement between the two procedures on 1%. Subsequent to the teacher interviews, rescreening and tympanometry were conducted. These procedures indicated that teacher screening and tympanometry were in agreement on 2% of the total sample or 50% of the hearing-loss group. It was concluded that teachers could supplement audiometry, particularly when otoscopy and typanometry are not available.
