During the orientation session, we discussed our identities and how they influence our perspectives and choices based on our experiences and privileges. In the initial chapters, we talked about e-waste and its impact on the environment due to our excessive use of technologies. In this module, we address the global digital divide, one of our time’s significant challenges. This issue is so vast that it may seem impossible for individuals to contribute to its resolution. However, this course has equipped you with the necessary skills and knowledge to effectively use technology to support your studies and career. Let us extend this learning to practice how we use and dispose of technologies as responsible global digital citizens.
Objectives of Assignment:
Learn to use Microsoft Word’s basic editing features to write an essay.
Synthesize all that you have learned in this course and apply it in a daily life context.
Practice to be a global digital citizen
What you need to do:
In this activity, you will need to develop a two-page Word document. Before writing, you will need to do a pre-work to:
Interview one family member or a friend to explain the digital divide and share what you have done to recycle e-waste. Discuss
What are their thoughts about the concept of recycling e-waste? Explain the concept to them as necessary.
Brainstorm a few ideas on how we can do something about the digital divide. Explain the concept to them as necessary.
After completing the interview, you need to write a two-page essay (about 500 words per page, but don’t let this limit your creativity).
Summarize your activities as discussed in the Module’s Discussion Forum
Reflect on what you have learned from your classmates
Report the interview and results of the interview
Reflect on this assignment and your role as a global digital citizen
I expect that 30% of the paper should be dedicated to answering questions 1 and 2, while the remaining 70% should be allocated to discussing questions 3 and 4.
How to format your report:
The document submitted must be a Microsoft Word since this objective is for you to learn these features of Microsoft Word Copy and paste from another program, such as GoogleDoc, will not meet the requirement.
Write with complete sentences (as an essay) and not just use a list of bullets.
Cite all references used following the APA guideline. (see resources below)
