Social Responsibility

Social responsibility refers to the duty of a business to contribute tot he well-being of a community.  Ways that businesses make sure they are socially responsible are by enacting policies and procedures to protect our environment & ensure worker safety, being sensitive to workplace diversity, and contributing the well being of individuals through employee wellness.  See student websites on these topics below.

Further, a socially responsible business engages in ethical business practics.  Ethics are principles of morality or rules of conduct.  Students have also created websites on this topic.

Finally, the government plays a role in ensuring that businesses are socially responsible.  In fact, government is our biggest business. The government oversees protection activites, regulation, and provides public assistance.  Students created websites on two ways the government is involved in protecting consumers: through the protection of intellectual property & unfair business practices.

Student Bloggers

The learning potential of having students blog is endless because it includes the chance to practice writing, reflect on others’ thinking, and respond to critical analyses of one’s own work. The purpose of having students blog in Digital Communication Tools is for students to learn to communicate effectively with a sense of audience, be able to publish their writing for others to view, and share with their peers what they have learned.

Right now I have 25 bloggers (aka writers and publishers) in Digital Communications. Take a look at what they are learning & doing in class!  Each name should be hyperlinked to their respective blog.  Please make comments on their posts, especially their World is Flat video reflections, in order to continue our online discussions and model proper digital citizenship.
