Abstract Technology tools known as “Web 2.0” have brought new possibilities to face-to-face educational settings as well as online learning environments. Web 2.0 tools enhance students’ ability to make connections and create meaningful products. However, educators must adhere to privacy laws when dealing with technology that, by its very nature, encourages the “sharing” of personal and educational information. Student academic honesty is a key concern, as well as privacy, in the use of these new technologies. Students face the challenge of creating original work amidst all the “shared” information available through Web 2.0. Additionally, student perceptions on the prevalency of cheating online is potentially creating an atmosphere of acceptance for violating academic honesty rules and expectations. Educators must be mindful of addressing academic integrity violations, as well as ensure student privacy, in order to create the best possible learning environment for students to succeed in.
