Ethics and Computers (First Assignment)

Assignment #1




Create a blog using Blogger. It is an extension of Google.
If you do not have a Google account, you will need to make one.
Use a format using your new username which is composed of the first letter of your first name+your last name+
your unique studentid.

For example: Jose Vasquez has a 10 digit student number ending in 98
His student name is jvasquez98

Create an account in Google using this format. It will make grading work much safer and easier.
We will take a quick look at some of the programs available in Google and  focus our attention on Blogger.

A blog is basically an online magazine written by a very limited number of people, usually one, that
focuses on a particular issue or skill. There are blogs on everything from knitting to electronics to horticulure to
taking care of Poodles. Your blog will be on 21st Century Technology.

You must be logged into Google to make the blog. It will not work if you do not log in!
You will need a unique url for your blog.
When asked for the URL for the blog, name it ECS2017 and add your student id.
In the case of our student Jose Vasquez, his blog will be named ECS2017jvasquez98.


Give Your Blog the name "Exploring Computer Science"
Create an entry based on the article that we are reading today.
Save the article as Ethics and Technology

Your blogs will appear under a url similar to this:
 http://ECS2017jvasquez98.blogspot.com/2016/09/Ethics-and-Technology.html

 All your blog entries will start with your username followed by blogspot.com.
 All articles are public and must be saved in order for anyone else to see them.

Follow the example I have created for you.

Read the following article and write your blog entry based on the item that you have been assigned.
Your blog entry must contain a summary of the ethical points presented by the author, the problems that may occur if people abuse this issue and ways to prevent this abuse from occurring.

When you have completed your blog entry, add a couple of pictures to make it look more professional.

It is very, very important that you share your blog in order for me to be able to see it and grade it.
After you save it, you will need to click the share button. This will be true every time you create a blog entry.
