Internet Topics - Groups

Listed below are the topics and terms explored in chapter 9. Work as a group to create and present a lesson based on 6 of the terms or topics listed below. The terms and topics should all be related so there is a direct focus and theme to your presentation.

1. Create a group of three and then create a google presentation and share it with each student in your group and with me (cdodge@seq.org). Share this document with me today.
2. Determine the terms you will used as the basis for your presentation. You must use a minimum of 6 terms. Be sure your presentation clearly presents the meaning of these terms as part of your presentation. Choose terms that have not already been covered in the course.
3. Submit the names of the members of your group and the topics you will cover today.
4. Each member in the group must be actively involved in the presentation. I will be able to see the part that each member contributed to the presentation by looking at the google presentation.

Presentations will be next week starting Wednesday.

3.4 Internet - page 29

The use of the internet for activities such as e-commerce, academic research and social networking can
raise ethical issues and have positive or negative social impacts. These may include exposure to undesirable materials, cyber-bullying, e-fraud, improved communication between individuals and groups, intellectual property theft, plagiarism, spamming and the global dissemination of ideas. Students are expected to discuss, where appropriate, possible solutions to a specified problem and evaluate their effectiveness.
Possible scenario
A school is considering using the internet to enhance the learning opportunities of its students. Before
making a final decision it intends to obtain an outline of the different facilities available. It must also consider the potential problems of opening this “window on the world”. Where appropriate, the ITGS student should investigate different environments to experience the range of available learning opportunities.
This may include research using different collaborative websites, educational websites or online sources of
information.
