Critical
Analysis of a Current Trend in Technological Communication
Using the format of the previous critical reviews, research
and discuss a presentation tool
that you can use to make a professional style presentation,
that is NOT MS PowerPoint OR Google Presentation
- Students
will be required to write a 1-page (single spaced) critical analysis of
this communication technology.
- This
requires doing actual research on the technology (aside from just
Wikipedia). The direct website is
blocked by the district because of potential abuse, and threats of
downloadable viruses to the district mainframe.
- In
your critical analysis you must adhere to the following guidelines:
i.
Include a synopsis of the technology and its function
in society (current and historically).
ii.
Include a review
of the functionality of the technology for the following areas (both good and
bad):
1.
Business
2.
Social
3.
Entertainment
4.
News
5.
Recreational
(All areas may not be applicable)
iii. In your analysis be sure to explain how this
technology could potentially be abused and the possible repercussions that
could follow.
- You
must give examples for each area that you analyze.
- At
the end of your analysis you must reference any and all websites you went
to for information (even if they are technology message boards)
- Chances
are that I have been to all of the websites that you will be visiting to
use as your critical analysis references, so don’t “copy and paste”… use
your own words.
Post-Assessment:
When you have completed your critical analysis, you will “hand it in”
by posting it to your blog.
