Clearly there is a middle ground that needs to be reached, as the Internet is a great enabler of learning just as much as a great catalyst for wasting time. it's all in how it is used. WebSense would do better to have applications that didn't just monitor, report and block access to employee sites of interest but rather create a more complex and valuable suite of Web applications that fostered intellectual growth and skills development, guiding employees away from time-wasting sites given their learning goals and closer to content and sites that would help them. The waste of time is relative; if it is time invested in learning and becoming more productive over the long-term, it's actually an investment. WebSense also cannot discount the power of social networks today and their impact on the performance of entire organizations. To cut off access to social networking sites is to…...

Internet Access to Students
The Elizabeth Martin Elementary School does not currently offer Internet Access to its students. This proposal offers information about the problem and the proposed solution. It is recommended that Internet access be provided within the next 120 days. A proposed program for the installation and implementation is made part of this proposal. A budget has been prepared, and made part of this proposal. The total cost of installation and implementation is $20,500.

The Elizabeth Martin Elementary School, located at the intersection of Wabank and Millersville Roads, Lancaster Township, and part of the School District of Lancaster, does not currently have Internet access available for its students. Several teachers use dial up access, mostly via a slow modem connection and using AOL as the Internet provider, to show students Internet sites as part of the learning experience. At best, students huddle around a computer with a teacher attempting…...

I do not feel it is realistic to assume that "cyberslacking" is costing the country $178 billion dollars. How much time would every employee have to spend on the computer, playing around and not working, to really add up to that kind of a dollar amount? While the calculations that can be done seem to show the results as being correct, the ZDNet article sheds light on why the number still is not realistic. First, the original calculations failed to distinguish between full-time and part-time employees. If one only works part-time, that changes the dynamics of the number of hours off of which the calculations were made. Of course, that is highly significant to the bottom line and the $178 billion number.
Additionally, some employees who were "playing" on the Internet during work hours undoubtedly had a right to be. If they were expected to do certain tasks and meet…...

You'd be able to hook up to the network through your computer, interactive TV, telephone, or some future device that somehow combines the attributes of all three. Even wireless gadgets such as pagers, future versions of cellular phones, and newfangled "personal digital assistants" would be able to tap into the highway. The purpose: to provide remote electronic banking, schooling, shopping, taxpaying, chatting, game playing, videoconferencing, movie ordering, medical diagnosing... The list goes on (Antonoff, Fisher, Langreth, and O'Malley 98).
Achieving this vision, however, means addressing the issue of accessibility so that everyone will have access to this superhighway.

In its broadest sense, web accessibility refers to more than the ability to connect to the Internet and includes the idea that websites should be, and often are not, designed so as to "facilitate access to the information on the site by people with disabilities" (Darsie 1) and others who need to access…...

value of providing access to documents via the Internet or a corporate intranet?
When documents are accessed over the internet or through a corporate intranet, they can be easily located and read by anyone who is supposed to have access to them (Callaghan, 2002). That means they can be used by employees, vendors, clients, or anyone else -- even just for general information -- no matter where in the world that person is located. Across miles, time zones, and language and cultural barriers, access to documents over the internet means that a person can work from anywhere at any time (Callaghan, 2002). He or she can get information, make changes, address issues, buy and sell goods and services, and work with other people in teams or groups. When documents are provided over the Internet, they can be set up so everyone can see them or so only selected people have…...

Virtual collaboration is teamwork and collaboration that takes place completely virtually, through the use of the internet (Peters & Manz, 2007). One example of this would be a team of people who are all located in different parts of the country or the world using a service like Skype to collaborate on a project. This works very well for projects where everyone involved does not have to physically touch the project for it to be successful. Instead of each person showing up from nine to five, Monday through Friday, to work on something in the same room together, it is possible to pick the truly best people for the job no matter where they are located (Peters & Manz, 2007). Very large projects work well like this, because designers, writers, and other types of people can be hired from wherever they are, and they can simply work together by sharing ideas online. There is a great deal of value in that, since it does not restrict talent to a particular geographic area.

The idea of using virtual collaboration is not for every project, however. Some projects really do require people to be hands-on, and they all need to meet in the same room in order to have the right level of success with the project (Peters & Manz, 2007). That is a perfectly understandable issue for a number of projects, but many of them can be completed in other ways. By thinking outside the box, companies can often save a lot of money through virtual collaboration (Peters & Manz, 2007). There is no need to fly people back and forth for meetings, and no need to have all of them together for many (or all) of the components of the project. If their personalities clash, they live all over the world, or there are other reasons why they cannot work in the same room or do not need to, virtual collaboration can be a great choice.

Censorship, the Internet, and Schools
Describe two implications for schools from the CIPA policy rulings, and two reasons for opposition to the policy

The Children's Internet Protection Act (CIPA) was legislated in the year 2000, obliging public schools and libraries to set up specific technology that restricts internet access to graphic depictions that are indecent, child pornography, or detrimental to minors (Finsness, 2008). One of the implications of these policy rules is that it infringes on intellectual freedom. This is in the sense that it goes against the First Amendment, as intellectual freedom is the right of every person to seek as well as receive information from all perspectives devoid of limitation. Secondly, there is the implication of impacting the capability of students to gain access to information they require for school (Finsness, 2008). Being in a fast-paced technological area and with students having to attain such skills for writing papers and…...

Internet Service Provider (ISP) Web Content Law and Ethics
The objective of this work is to answer whether Internet service providers have a responsibility to regulate the content that is available on the World Wide Web? This work will additionally answer as to whether the presence and ease of availability of pornography to the general public a tribute to free speech and a reflection of social maturity or an example of the potential damage that unregulated markets and the hegemony of technology have reaped upon society?

The Internet is such that allows consumers, businesses, and industry, alike to "do many new things in unique and efficient ways." (Tekxam, nd) There are however, reported to be areas of both legal and ethical concern with regards to the responsibilities of Internet Service providers. Some of those areas include protection of intellectual property, fraud prevention, protection of freedom of expression, protection of privacy, control of…...

"What's more, many teachers lack technical support; unlike businesses, most schools don't have an it guy down the hall to save the day when computers go haywire." (Wohl, 2001) central contemporary concern is the problem of Internet security and access to quality information. Without the necessary security measures and administrative restrictions, access to the Internet can also mean access to harmful pornographic material. These administrative procedures once again require technical expertise and time on the part of the teacher.
Another aspect that is of concern in today's online environment is that while there is a plethora of information available, this is not always of the best quality. Many teachers and institutions have banned student access to open -source sites such as Wikipedia for this reason. It is very difficult if not impossible for the teacher to monitor and check the validity and quality of the sites and sources that their…...

The unrestrained stream of information is conceived necessary for democracies and market-based economies. The capability of the Internet to make available the vast quantity of information to practically everyone, irrespective of their locations thus entails large benefits. The Internet provides access to the greatest libraries of the world to the students even in the smallest towns and permit the medical specialists to analyze the patients situated about thousands of miles away. The attribute of interactivity of the Internet fosters communication and personal and political expression. The Internet also assists to make the economies progress as it enhances the ease, speed and cost effectiveness with regard to the collection, compilation and delivery around the world to the multiple extent.

Internet and Society
The Internet and American Society

In the history of humankind there have been very few inventions which have completely transformed human society. Inventions like the wheel, agriculture, astronomy and geometry have all transformed humankind from uncivilized barbarians into a creatures of culture and society. The invention of science, discovery of electricity, the atom, and other inventions have then propelled the human race forward into a more technologically society, one which is primarily an information-based society. As a result of these technological advancements, scientists have been able to create something that has again transformed human society, one which has in a relatively short time, infiltrated every aspect of scholarship, research, business, and life in general. Beginning with the computer, and an idea that many computers could be joined together and their information shared; scientists and researchers have created an interconnected system of personal, business, academic, research, library, and a myriad…...

There are many different topics to select when writing about online education.  You can approach the essay from the point-of-view of an educator or of a student, and you can also look at it by grade level for K-12 students, for classes for undergraduate and graduate students. You can focus on the challenges that people face as remote learners or the benefits of remote learning.  Many people who are looking at online education today also look at the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on remote learning/ online education and how different school districts and educational institutions have....

How you write your outline for your essay on how online learning is impacting teens depends on the structure of your essay.  Most academic essays are done in the same manner, with an introductory paragraph, supporting body paragraphs, and a conclusion paragraph.  The default length for a basic academic essay is five paragraphs, but the outline we are providing is for a six-paragraph essay because we think you should define online learning and explain why people are using it and then look at the educational, social, and mental impacts of online learning.
