Management of Information System

The thing I’ve liked the most about the course and especially the Blog was the fact that I got to make time to read up on a lot of new technology I knew existed but would never make time to familiarize myself with or learn more about. We hear about RFID, ERP, the importance of being able to successfully manage information systems in the workplace, networks, VOIP, WiMax, Supply Chain Management, wireless technology and the list goes on and on, but I personally found it really hard to take the time to read more about those topics with work and all. Taking this course got me to bring myself up to speed on a lot of this new technology and have an appreciation on how to better apply some, if not most of this technology in my working environment.
The Blog was a little tricky at first to get started, but once you get going, it’s pretty straightforward and actually fun to do. It was not like creating a web page which can prove to be a little harder for someone without a basic programming background. It was actually a lot easier than I thought and it gave me a little more knowledge on how to create a simple news page about pretty much anything you want it to be!
A lot of the tools that we had to add to our Blog page required research and then some reading which was good; it got me to learn more about them. Again, like I’ve mentioned above, I had heard about a lot of the things we had to do in our Blog, but I never really had taken the time to check it out; this was a great experience and I’ve taken out of this experience more knowledge than I had originally anticipated 6 weeks ago. I must admit it was a good exercise and writing those articles got me to study on new subjects; I can honestly say that I am not as stupid today as I was 6 weeks ago.
