ICT Topics:
It is important when choosing an ICT Issue that you frame it in a way where you can answer it with a Yes/No or We agree/disagree.
For example,
| Bad | Good |
| Computer Games | Are computer games making people more violent? |
| Google Glass | How will Google Glass affect the way we interact with each other? |
| Social Networking | Is social networking addictive? |
| Artifical Intelligence | Should we fear the greater use of AI in robotics? |
| 3D Printing | 3D printing will revolutionise the way we buy products by moving the manufacturing process to the consumer. |
| Ecommerce | It is essential for a business to have a ecommerce presence to compete in todays world. |
Some topics you may consider are:
- Cyberbullying
- Cyberstalking

Primary Source:
- Need to make a survey using Google Docs or Surveymonkey.com for other students in class to complete.
Or it's easier to go around class with pen and paper asking them set questions, then put them in a spreadsheet.
Survey - 3D printing survey and ICT Issue and Partner Nomination Form
Use this data into a spreadsheet and create a chart showing statistics.
Click here for sample spreadsheet/chart.
Secondary Source:
-Websites and books you are using to get information about the ICT issue.
Bibliography
-Must site Primary and Secondary sources properly.
This might be put on a seperate web page, or at the bottom of the page it is referenced in.
Download 3D Printing Inspiration File - incomplete but good place to start - here
A visual summary of the research needs to be made in Inspiration.
This will allow you to come up with a team viewpoint/summary of the topic.
