Beyond the Blackboard' tells us the story of a determined teacher. The story I think took place in 1980’s setting and follows a young, newly hired teacher named Ms. Stacey Bess who ends up teaching homeless shelter children at a school without a name. She finds the classroom to be not much more than a filthy shed with a few tattered books, one desk, several old mismatched chairs and a resident rat. Her students are sullen, unkempt, and even unruly and so are their parents all present a reality Stacey, nor any other teacher, were ever trained for. When the train passes along the building, the classroom shakes as if it’s about to give in, and then a resident rat comes out a hole in the floor making some kids to freak out and scream. The school head who hired her remains unreachable when she repeatedly tries to ask for help. But with these circumstances at hand, can an individual really make a difference?
...BCO1102 Information Systems for Business 2014 Semester 1 Prepared by Paul Darbyshire Prepared by Paul Darbyshire fWelcome Welcome to BCO1102 Information Systems for Business for Semester 1, 2014. For the vast majority of you it will be a compulsory unit of study as it is part of the Business Core in all undergraduate Bachelor of Business degrees. The major focus of this unit is on how computer- based information systems can support decision making in organizations and businesses. Those decisions often need to be made by professionals who come from discipline areas you are studying such as accounting, management, information systems or marketing. One of the most important elements of an information system is people, so all of us need to know what role we can play and what role information and communication technologies (ICT) can play in supporting decisions. This unit will look at the theoretical side of information systems as well as personal productivity tools such as spread sheets and databases. In addition we will look at global trends in information systems and in particular the emerging use of Cloud Computing and Social Networking, which is sometimes called Web 2.0. The unit of study requires the textbook Introduction to Information Systems by Rainer, Prince and Cegielski 5th Edition. The textbook is used for the theory and some of the practical work in tutorials. All reading for this subject during the semester is assigned from this textbook. Feedback from......
