Planning Stage
Use the following checklist for the Planning Stage:
- I have included a time line with Gantt chart ( Gantt chart should show planning and scheduling tasks over time )
- I have included a step by step plan ( How the project will be carried out )
- I have included evidence for my planning about material/tools and resources usage.
- I have critically evaluated my time plan. I have tried to answer the following questions:
- Was the plan was detailed enough and why?
- Could it be followed by someone else ?
- Have I used all the resources available to me?
I have justified any modifications that seem necessary at this stage to my original design.

The Dangers of Social Networking
http://www.switched.com/2009/02/27/teen-calls-job-boring-on-facebook-gets-fired/
http://itgsonline.com/?p=979
Read both articles above. Notice how the second writer links information from the first article to the ITGS Triangle. Use this as a technique going forward.
You next task is to find your own article about Social Networking and create another link to the ITGS Triangle. You can use Twitter, Facebook, QZone, or any of the other websites we examined yesterday. Try to find an article about how Social Networking can have a negative effect on the lives of its users.
Remember, we've already talked about Facebook in a general way, now I need you to find a specific incident and link it to the Triangle.
Post it on your blog.

Social Networking
http://lithosphere.lithium.com/t5/Building-Community-the-Platform/Community-vs-Social-Network/ba-p/5283
Click on the above link and read the article about Social Networks vs Community.
Afterward, write down as many forms of social networks as you can (many are listed in the article, but there are so many more you can think of). After that, do a compare and contrast between the different forms ("this one is mainly for ______, but this one is designed to ______, etc").
Finally, relate both Facebook and Twitter to the ITGS Triangle and post about it on your blog (remember, you need to relate it to all three strands, and as many topics within the strands as you can).

After answering the questions, please just think about the following statement:

- What are the 8 Principles of the Data Protection Act?
- Who is the Information Commissioner and what does he do?
- What does the Data Controller do?
- Who are the Data Subjects?
- What are Exemptions (and who gets them)?
- Are there different Data Laws in different countries? Do you think this is fair?
After answering the questions, please just think about the following statement:
"One man's terrorist is another man's freedom fighter"
To what extent is this a true statement?
We will have the trial on Wednesday, September 14th, so make sure you're prepared to defend yourself!
