ITGS triangle

ASSIGNMENT: Choose an IT system, and generally apply the social/ethical issues to it. Then apply the IT system to two areas of impact.

Online Blogs
Section 2: IT Systems in a Socail Context
Often times, teachers decide to use online blogs to keep their students updated on school assignments na dpost up notes and links to hlep students study. A lot of the teacehrs at al-Arqam this year decided to use this method, and it'sdefinately an easy way to prevent miscommunication between students and teachers. It's an efficient communication system becasue it makes it easier for studetns to catch up with whats going on in class and what the homework is if they were absent, or if they just eren't paying too much attention is class.

Section 1: SOcial and Ethical Issues
There are many benefits to this method of communication, but there are some issues that may arise.

1)For one thing, it's not personal, and even if there are notes posted on the blog, it won't be the same as having a teacher teach the student.

2)There is also the issue of equality of access. There may be some people who don't have access to the blog, and may therefore not be able to recieve the notes, homework posts, and other benefits. This may cause miscommunication among the taecher and students without access to the blog.

3)There's also the issue of privacy; if students wanted to make personal comments to the teacher or if the teacher wanted to discuss grades via the blog, others owuld be able to see the comments.

Section 3: Areas of Impact
EDUCATION: It's clear that blogs help create ew streams of communication among students and teachers...and obviosly its becoming popular since half the teachers at Al-Arqam have chosen this route.it creates an efficient and effective means of communication.

BUSINESS AND EMPLOYMENT: Just as it helps in schools, blogs may also help ease communication between employers and employees in businesses and organizations. Tasks can be posted, meeting dates can peple up to pace, and updates on projects would help keep every employee on track with what's going on.

Since the internet is a so widely used nowadays in every area, its a great way to communicate with others and keep people posted.
