Now that we have discussed what the class looks like, what IB expects and how they approach the three areas/Sections of the syllabus let's try one!
You need to pick an area of technology that you see in school. This can be anything from bluetooth to laptop computers (sorry those two are off limits!). Once you have a technology you want to explore do the following: [refer to the syllabus and use the IB categories (like 2.1 Basics: Hardware and Networks for the example of laptop computers) in your answers]
- Section 2: IT Systems in a Social context - Describe how the IT is used and how it affects the school.
- Section 1: Social and Ethical Issues - Identify the issues that are raised by this technology and how it affects the school.
- Section 3: Area of Impact - From the list in Section 3, describe two area(s) of impact: please show one positive and one negative impact of this issue.
