Classroom Technology

Technology these days has truly changed the way students can work both in and outside the classroom. For our group project, communication was much easier with the use of Blackboard, email and the internet. Group pages in blackboard made file transferring easy and quick. We were able to choose everyone we wanted to send an email to without needing to know their e-mail address with it right under group pages. We didn’t have any virtual meetings but e-mail allowed for us all to work cooperatively and keep in touch about what everyone needed to do to complete each part. The internet has made large group projects very manageable!

After discussing some the Just memo, I was appalled that it was actually referring to humans. I was first thinking he was referring to some kind of animal (which is just as horrible), but to see that he was talking about humans is disturbing. Using words like merchandise and pieces shows how wrong and unethical many were during the Holocaust. Ethical lapses like this show us how important it is to hold on to your ethical standards when writing, especially in the workplace. It is easy to lose sight when you know your job is on the line! When I enter the workforce, I hope to learn and grow without jeopardizing my beliefs and ethical principles. Any time I write something, I’ll be sure to step back from the situation and ask myself it falls in line with my belief system.
