ITEC 610 Week 1

The first week of class was very interesting. I really enjoy reading other classmates views on different questions in the discussion thread. I'm learning that my thoughts are often going down a totally different path than other students, but that’s a good thing since we all think differently. Dr. Lang posted a question on this week’s discussion blog that talked about has traditional management culture changed due to IT? I felt that it did and it caused management to be less personable with its employees. After reading some of my classmates post, they made me rethink some of my views and after rereading the post my mind started to change. Maybe IT does make management run more efficiently and effectively. It also saves them some time, which is a good thing. Another point that a classmates made is that it cuts down on traveling cost, because now they have videoconferencing. Having these discussion threads is a really a good learning tool. It seems the more people respond, the more I learn. :)
