Technology in the Classroom

For this blog topic, we were asked whether technology helped or hindered us in a group setting as we worked on our project.  I felt that the group page in blackboard was helpful in some ways, but annoying in other aspects.  The link that let us email our whole group was pretty helpful, because I would often forget my group member's email addresses.  Attaching a document to the group page was somewhat helpful too.  The only thing different that I wish you could change about those 2 features is to somehow have more control over it.  I wish that you could connect the member's email addresses to your own email page.

Our group never took advantage of the virtual page on blackboard.  I feel that blackboard is becoming obsolete after having used it for the past four years.  I think there has to be a smarter way to relay information than to constantly login to this server that often is down or has glitches to it.

Ethical Principles

In class we discussed a letter that was written during the holocaust.  At the time of reading it, I had no clue that it took place during that time frame.  I learned that even in business writing there are conspiracies and cover ups.  It seems like that example was very black and white ethically, but many cases would probably be categorized into shades of gray.

Upon graduation, I plan on entering a 2nd degree/graduate school.  I hope that through my professional career I can continue to maintain a positive ethical rapport.  I think it is very important to stand by your ethical principles and to draw the line at certain points between what is right and wrong.
