07/10/2010 Got first notice of our MIS assignment, we were told to go onto moduleboss to register.I set up a group called welovems and invited Robin Corbett, Cormac Fay, Philip Hankey, Adrian Breen and Conor Keville to join. There were only 5 places available and 6 wanted to join. I said it was first come first served basis. Unfortunately Conor keville missed out on his place on the team.
13/10/2010 Discuss with Adrian and Philip the need for a meeting with the group, Philip feels that we should wait until we find which Industry Sector we receive before we meet. Myself and Adrian agree with him.
08/11/2010 Went to the library and googled "IS in education" I looked at the following website: www.Infodev.org/en/project.shtml , www.jisc.org, and www.ncje.ie/info_sheets/education_systems_in_ireland.doc
14/10/2010 Attend my Mis tutorial. Learn how to use doodle, meeting wizard and crop website pages etc. I also use the time to read over the assignment out line once more.
18/10/2010 We receive our Industry. We have a choice between Education , Government and Television and broadcasting
19/10/2010 After our Economics lecture we talk about the need for a meeting. We decide that we should meet at cairnes at 2.30
(2.30)First meeting commences,all members are present. We debate over whether we should do education or Government. We decide to investigate the impact of IS on Education.
We then sub divided education into dep. of education, 3rd level, secondary level, Primary level and exam/special education.I wrote the 5 topics on 5 different pieces of paper. We each picked a piece of paper. I got Primary level education. Im happy enough with this topic as I recently noticed on a visit back to my primary school a huge increase in the use of is in primary level education.
08/11/2010 Went to the library to read over the assignment outline to make sure we were addressing the project correctly because Philip had briefly questioned whether we were addressing the project correctly.I also read over all our lecture heading ,as Philip thinks we should incorporate these into our project
15/11/2010 Receive an email from Philip with week 1 management document. I read over these documents and email him my thoughts on them.
17/11/2010 Received an email from Philip, saying that these are the title that he thinks we should do. I decide to choose 2. IS in a changing world and 11. Business and the Internet. I later receive a reply saying that these 2 heading are still available.
