Abstract—Due to the recent development of information
society, use of the Internet is becoming indispensable in
assisting people with disabilities to live independent lives. So it is
an urgent issue that information technology moral education is
provided for children with special needs. However, little
research has been conducted on information technology moral
education to help such children acquire the necessary
communication skills and behaviors.
In this research, educational materials were developed for
the information technology moral education of high school
students with special needs. The purpose of these teaching
materials was to help children learn about the protection of
their personal information, and it dealt with content related to
the “publication of photographs on SNS.”
The results of the student questionnaire survey showed that
“I know what photos should not be published on SNS”
increased significantly after the lecture compared to before the
lecture. In addition, more than 80% of students responded that
“the content of the lecture was easy to understand,” suggesting
the effectiveness in this material.
Index Terms—Special needs education, information
technology moral education, SNS communication skills.
