 * ICT Issues**

Contribute collaboratively to the design and development of a website that presents an analysis of a contemporary ICT issue and substantiates the team’s point of view. Analysis on Social Networking. Many people have a social network site. One very popular site is Facebook. While on one level it seems a relatively harmless place to collect as many friends as possible, place a few pictures and personal information of your likes/dislikes and comment on your relationship status, users of this site are finding that there are more sinister uses of Facebook.

Students are expected to work in teams of three or four. The team has to prepare a project plan that identifies the various tasks, allocates the tasks to the team or individual team members, and includes a timeline for the completion of the project. Each member is responsible for keeping proper records of their work and backups of all their files. There is no need to select a team leader, as all members should contribute equally to the project. One member of the team will be the project recorder responsible for: recording the project plan decided on by the team updating the project plan and keeping a progress report on each task (start date, end date, what was actually done and who performed the work) recording any difficulties experienced by any and how they were solved recording any changes that are made to the allocated tasks of the team members; for example, one member may become sick and another member needs to do some of the work.

One member of the team will be the project administrator who collects and stores the material produced by the team and its members, including the data and information collected by each member, the team analysis of the issue, the team design for the product and the files for the onscreen product. Students will need to use spreadsheet software to manipulate the acquired primary data and represent the data as charts to place on the website. For the production of the website, each team member needs to be allocated approximately equal parts. A team member who is not the project administrator or the project recorder is the product developer. The product developer compiles the complete onscreen information product, combining the sections produced by each member of the team, including their own.

From each individual team member:


 * The data and information collected about the issue
 * Files containing the sections of website they produced
 * The part of the project that was assigned to the team member
 * The project recorder’s files and materials The project administrator’s files and material
 * The completed project
