Linux gives students a concrete surface for exploring processes, memory, scheduling, filesystems, permissions, and system calls.</p> <p>I like teaching systems through workflows students can touch. A command-line trace, a small C program, or a broken permission setting can open a larger conversation about how the OS manages resources and enforces boundaries.</p> <p>The goal is not only to memorize concepts. It is to build the confidence to investigate what a system is doing and explain why.</p>https://sanaamironov.com/blog/ethical-issues-in-technology-classroom/Tue, 19 May 2026 00:00:00 +0000https://sanaamironov.com/blog/ethical-issues-in-technology-classroom/<p>Ethics in technology is not separate from technical work. Design choices shape access, privacy, safety, power, labor, and accountability.</p> <p>In the classroom, I want students to practice ethical reasoning as part of technical reasoning. What assumptions are built into a system? Who benefits? Who is exposed to risk? What evidence would change our mind?</p> <p>These questions are not distractions from engineering. They are part of building systems that work responsibly in the world.</p>
