My Final Post!

Wow class is over! I have to say that when I first started this class I was a little nervous and unsure of what to expect. To my surprise that class has been nothing at all like I expected. The topics in the class were very cool and I would often find myself searching for additional information on the topics we covered. Making this blog to document my experience was in fact a very cool thing that I would like to do in all of my future classes. Listening to my classmates share there experiences provided alot of insight as to how other company's handle issues relating to information technology. My favorite topic was information security but I must say there were others that piqued my interest (offshoring, ERPs, etc.). The class projects were also a nice way to tie in the topics from the book into real life subjects that most people use everyday anyway. The class also touched on building a business and how technology plays a roll in this. Overall I loved this course and I'm glad that this was my first class in my MS degree. Now I'm just waiting on a grade ;-)

Week 6

Midterm week!

Week 11

It's almost a wrap!! Finals are due this week and I'm having trouble posting my final ;-(

Week 10

This had to be the coolest week of class! We all got the chance to create our own topics and it was a nice change of pace. It was cool reading through the topics and seeing what my classmates had on their minds. Before this I had not given much thought as to how much goes into creating a topic that reflects what you've learned and will create interest in the person responding to your post. I also edited my very first wiki page! We have a wiki on the intranet at work but I have never contributed to it...I guess I may just start after this ;-)

Week 4

This week we did a project on Twitter and its network capabilities. Because I'm not a fan of Twitter and since I'm already on Facebook, I would have much preferred doing the mini project on that ;-) We discussed the internet and the implementation of IPV6 which was cool. The topic "The Next Big Thing" was an interesting one. I can remember when I was younger and had no knowledge of the internet or how to use it. Now it seems that children as young as 5 can use it effectively. It makes me wonder how far it will progess in my daughter's lifetime.
