1. What is the management?

ANS:
- is the process of getting activities completed efficiently and effectively with and through other people. source

- The term ‘management’ encompasses an array of different functions undertaken to accomplish a task successfully. In the simplest of terms, management is all about ‘getting things done’. However, it is the way and the process of how one achieves ones target or goals and it is in this respect that management is considered an art and a science as well.

2. what is knowledge management?
ANS:
- Knowledge Management (KM) comprises a range of strategies and practices used in an organization to identify, create, represent, distribute, and enable adoption of insights and experiences. Such insights and experiences comprise knowledge, either embodied in individuals or embedded in organizational processes or practice

- Knowledge Management efforts typically focus on organizational objectives such as improved performance, competitive advantage, innovation, the sharing of lessons learned, integration and continuous improvement of the organization. KM efforts overlap with organizational learning, and may be distinguished from that by a greater focus on the management of knowledge as a strategic asset and a focus on encouraging the sharing of knowledge. KM efforts can help individuals and groups to share valuable organizational insights, to reduce redundant work, to avoid reinventing the wheel per se, to reduce training time for new employees, to retain intellectual capital as employees turnover in an organization, and to adapt to changing environments and markets (McAdam & McCreedy 2000)

3. what is information system?
ANS:
-An information system (IS) is any combination of information technology and people's activities using that technology to support operations, management, and decision-making. In a very broad sense, the term information system is frequently used to refer to the interaction between people, algorithmic processes, data and technology. In this sense, the term is used to refer not only to the information and communication technology (ICT) an organization uses, but also to the way in which people interact with this technology in support of business processes.

4. what are the component of information systems?
ANS:
The physical components of MIS
- Hardware
- Software
- Database
- Personnel
- Procedures


5. Why do we need to apply the knowledge management process in our business?
ANS:
- we need ways for managing the knowledge in an organization
- is for you to have your own definition of Knowledge Management; what KM is to you and your organisation. What is even more important is that you and your colleagues have a 'common shared understanding' of what KM means for you all.

To help you get started, we have included immediately below a few definitions of what KM means to some organisations. We suggest you consider them, together with any other definitions you may have, and see if there are any words or phrases that particularly 'resonate' with what you are trying to do. This will help you formulate your own definition of knowledge management.

At the end of this page, we invite you to share with us all, any definitions you have discovered and/or formulated. We can then all comment and rate the usefulness of each definition as we wish. This then provides us, at the bottom of this page, with a list of KM Definitions, listed in highest rated/ranked order, to help us even further. So please share your definitions and/or any comments or rating to definitions.

Introduction

Among the ancients, according to Columella, Vitruvius, and Pliny, the word rubrica, or rubric, signified the red earth used by carpenters to mark on wood the line to follow when cutting it; according to Juvenal the same name was applied to the red titles under which the jurisconsults arranged the announcements of laws. Soon the red colours, at first used exclusively for writing the titles, passed to the indications or remarks made on a given text.¹

Today in academia we refer to a rubric as a scoring tool rather than as it was originally referenced: notes in red ink used in grading text. We maintain the spirit of the original meaning of rubric since the term still refers to a general rule or guide for judging something of importance. More specifically, a scoring rubric consists of a fixed scale and a list of the characteristics for describing performance for each of the score points on the scale. Since rubrics describe levels of performance, they provide important information to teachers, parents and others interested in what students know and are able to do. Perhaps most importantly, rubrics provide a clear statement to students, teachers and parents as to what is considered important and worth learning, even before the learning has occurred because "once educators incorporate multiple intelligent strategies into the teaching repertoire, it becomes important to rethink the approach to assessment." ².

"If you get something wrong, your teacher can prove you knew what you were supposed to do

What would you include in the basic criteria for doing research?

Authority: Decide whether an individual, an organization or an agency who is recognized as an expert in a field who is knowledgeable, qualified and reliable.

• Authors qualifications and affiliation: Is the author or information provider clearly identified?  Is the data included about the author?
• Is there a contact person or address available:  Can the webmaster be contacted easily?
• Is there evidence of quality control? Is information presented on an official organizational web site; online journals that use peer review by editors or others; posting of information taken from books or journals that previously underwent a quality control process.

Accuracy: Can it be verifiable, dependable and error-free?

Motivation: Is the author supplying real, measurable information or is he or she just trying to sell an idea or opinion?

Objectivity: Is the material presented selectively or in a unbalanced manner which is only one side of an issue, or was some information left out? Is the information merely an opinion on an issue? To what extent is the creator trying to change our own opinion?

Currency of Information: Relates to the date of information, publication date or date of last revision.  As in printed sources, some work is timeless, like classic novels or much of history.  Other work has limited life because of changes in the discipline like technology.  Up to date links add to the validity of the entire site.

Grading Rubrics

The ANGEL LMS' grading rubrics simplify the process of grading manually graded items and assure that students are evaluated against the same criteria by the same or multiple graders. Rubrics further strengthen ANGEL’s support for a learning outcomes approach. By aligning rubrics to standards and/or objectives, institutions can measure student progress against goals. 

Rubric Characteristics

Grading rubrics provide the following capabilities to instructors:

• Simple creation – create rubrics using a simple three-step process.
• Alignment to standards – align to or copy grading rubrics from system standards.
• Consistent evaluation – define specific criteria and achievement levels to evaluate all submissions against the same set of criteria.
• Point-and-click grading – score student's work by simply clicking in the cell that corresponds to their level of achievement for a particular criteria. The rubric calculates the score based on the point value of the assignment. An instructor can override any point value.
• Sharing – reduce rework by sharing rubrics in or across departments through the learning object repository. Instructors can browse and preview all shared rubrics when creating an assignment.

Exercise: 7 How does search engine works?

   How does search engine works?






-  A search engine works by looking up information on the internet based on what you ask it to look for. You type words or phrases you want more information about in the search box, click on search, and get the results. 


-  A search engine does exactly what its called - it searches certain parts of the internet database based on the words you are searching for information on. For example, if you want football stats, it's not gonna bother looking on Cosmopolitans website, and likewise if you wanted makeup hints, they wouldn't check NFL.com.




source

Have you ever been looking for something and wished you had help searching for it? It is a common feeling that led to the creation of one of the most effective parts of the Internet--search engines.

 Search engines are as vital to the Internet as the websites they take you to. Without them, it would be difficult to surf the Net for anything. Search engines work so well due to the software programs used to run them.

 Software programs like Alta Vista and Google help search engines look for information on the World Wide Web. These software programs index information and send out "crawlers" to search for new information added to the web. Crawlers find new websites and web pages based on SEO (search engine optimization) or Meta tags.

 Search engines use SEOs or Meta tags to locate "old" and "new" websites. SEOs are words and phrases that appear on a web page or website that are indexed by search engines in a way that best describes it. Savvy bloggers often use key SEO phrases in the title of their blog and throughout it to help search engines better categorize their subject and blog. Meta tags are words added into a special section of a web page or website by the designer to describe it. Meta tags are not visible to an Internet surfer, but are visible to a crawler.

 After a crawler finds a website or web page, it is indexed into the search engine system under a category or categories. So a web page with the title "Toys for Puppies" would most likely be listed under the categories "toys" and "puppies." The crawler would decide to do this based on the terms in the title. Then, when a person surfing the Net for information lists the words "toys" and "puppies" in the search engine box, this page would pop up in the results.

 There are times when a website or web page that appears to have nothing to do with a specific search pops up in the results screen. This usually happens when the SEOs or Meta tags are not in line with the subject matter. Also, there are times when a web page or website is missed. However, the designers of search engines have remedied this problem by adding areas on their own specific pages to allow users to submit their web page or website to them. Basically, the makers of the search engines want to be sure that they are able to serve anyone who comes to them by providing the most accurate information available on the World Wide Web

How Does the Internet Work?

1.   what is the internet?

The Internet is a global network of computers. Every computer that is connected to the Internet is considered a part of that network. This means even your home computer. It's all a matter of degrees, you connect to your ISP's network, then your ISP connects to a larger network and so on.

At the top of the tree is the high-capacity backbones, all of these interconnect at 'Network Access Points' 'NAPs' at important regions around the world. The entire Internet is based on agreements between these backbone providers who set in place all the fibre optics lines and other technical aspects of the Internet.

2.   What is Internet protocol? ( IP address)

The Internet Protocol (IP) is the principal communications protocol used for relaying datagrams (packets) across an internetwork using the Internet Protocol Suite. Responsible for routing packets across network boundaries, it is the primary protocol that establishes the Internet.

IP is the primary protocol in the Internet Layer of the Internet Protocol Suite and has the task of delivering datagrams from the source host to the destination host solely based on their addresses For this purpose, IP defines addressing methods and structures for datagram encapsulation

3.  what is the OSI model?

Layer 1: Physical Layer

Layer 2: Data Link Layer

Layer 3: Network Layer

Layer 4: Transport Layer

Layer 5: Session Layer

Layer 6: Presentation Layer

Layer 7: Application Layer

4.  what is Internet Infrastructure?

First of all, let me define what I mean by ‘Internet Infrastructure’. All the hardware and services required to make this web page appear in your browser, or an RSS feed download into your reader, or VOIP calls / emails get to your desktop. All the underlying technologies that are unseen, but ‘make the Internet go’.

I see Internet Infrastructure consisting of a ‘Top 5′ areas :

• Data Centres
• Network Connectivity
• Computer Equipment
• Storage Services
• Server Applications

Data Centre

A Data Centre is basically a specialist building that has the ability to power (and cool) massive amounts of computer equipment

Network

Possibly to most important foundation block of Internet Infrastructure is the Network.

Computer Equipment

Now that the two basics of Internet Infrastructure are in place – the ability to power your equipment, and the ability to connect it to the Internet, the next thing is the computer hardware that uses this to process and store the applications and data.

Storage Services

Data Storage is a huge part of Internet Infrastructure. All those emails accessible online, all the web pages on your favourite web site, all those photos on Facebook … are all stored on a hard drive in a DC somewhere.

Server Applications

The final piece of underlying Internet Infrastructure is the server applications themselves.

Further Information

This post is only scratching the surface and (hopefully!) providing a very basic overview of what Internet Infrastructure constitutes.

5. what is domain names?

A name that identifies one or more IP addresses. For example, the domain name microsoft.com represents about a dozen IP addresses. Domain names are used in URLs to identify particular Web pages. For example, in the URL http://www.pcwebopedia.com/index.html, the domain name is pcwebopedia.com.

Every domain name has a suffix that indicates which top level domain (TLD) it belongs to. There are only a limited number of such domains. For example:

gov - Government agencies

edu - Educational institutions

org - Organizations (nonprofit)

mil - Military

com - commercial business

net - Network organizations

ca - Canada

th - Thailand

Because the Internet is based on IP addresses, not domain names, every Web server requires a Domain Name System (DNS) server to translate domain names into IP addresses.

6. what is world wide web? And its service?

World Wide Web

 

World Wide Web

The World Wide Web, abbreviated as WWW and commonly known as the Web, is a system of interlinked hypertext documents accessed via the Internet. With a web browser, one can view web pages that may contain text, images, videos, and other multimedia and navigate between them by using hyperlinks. Using concepts from earlier hypertext systems, English engineer and computer scientist Sir Tim Berners-Lee, now the Director of the World Wide Web Consortium, wrote a proposal in March 1989 for what would eventually become the World Wide Web. At CERN in Geneva, Switzerland, Berners-Lee and Belgian computer scientist Robert Cailliau proposed in 1990 to use "HyperText [...] to link and access information of various kinds as a web of nodes in which the user can browse at will", and publicly introduced the project in December.

"The World-Wide Web (W3) was developed to be a pool of human knowledge, and human culture, which would allow collaborators in remote sites to share their ideas and all aspects of a common project.

7.  How many Internet user in Thailand?


How many Internet users in Thailand?

In Internet Use in Thailand, Poonsri Vate-U-Lan from Srinakharinwirot University in Bangkok, quotes a household survey carried out in March-June 2003  by two public institutions: NECTEC and NSTDA (see, Internet Information Research Centre, Thailand). The survey shows a steady increase in the number of Internet users, of approximately 30% per year: 

• 2003 = 9.56% of total population (approx. 63 M)
• 2002 = 7.38%
• 2001 = 5.64%

Internet vs. telephony
According to the ITU Asia-Pacific Telecommunications Indicators 2003, Thailand has a broad telephone subscribers base:

• fixed-lines subscribers are close to 32 M, corresponding to nearly 50% of the total population
• mobile subscribers are nearly 25 M, or 40% of the population

On the contrary, the Internet users and subscribers base is much narrower. Internet users are close to 7 M, or 11% of the population. Internet subscribers are 2.5 M , of whom 45.000, or 1.9% have a broadband connection. 

Internet adoption in South-East Asia
Drawing from Nua Internet Surveys (2003) in the region, Poonsri Vate-U-Lan positions Thailand in the middle range among South-East Asian countries.

High adoption rate
Singapore at 51.48%
Malaysia at 25.15%

Medium adoption rate
Thailand between 9.5 and 11%
Brunei at 9.97%
Philippines at 7.77%

Low and very low adoption rate
Indonesia at 1.93%
Vietnam at 0.49%
Laos at 0.17%
Cambodia at 0.08%
Myanmar = 0.02%

Further analysis of this data shows that the country's per capita income appears to be the best economic predictor of Internet adoption (e.g. Thailand GDP 2.044 $ - Indonesia 860$, source ITU report cited above).

Who are Internet users in Thailand?

They are young: more than half are 20-29 years old (53.2% in 2002) ; followed by 30-39 (above 20%) and 10-19 (below 20%).

They live in the Bangkok region (62.6%) or in other urban areas (21.8%).

They have high education: University graduate (62.3%) and High school (16.7%).

Over the years, women are becoming more numerous among Internet users than men (53.4% in 2002, 51.2% in 2001, 49.2% in 2000).

They access the Internet from multiple points: home (46.7%); office (31.6%); school (13.7%) and Internet cafes (7.5%). And most of them (83.2%) own a PC.

Note: the data above come from NECTEC annual online survey, which started in 1999. Internet users are invited to take the survey by an advertising banner embedded in various popular websites. As such it suffers from self-selection bias and should be taken as an interesting description rather than an accurate representation of the Internet users community in Thailand.

Two interesting articles to know more about Internet in Thailand are :

Bridging the Digital Divide: a case study of CATNET Nationwide Internet kiosks, by Rattanawan Rattakul. At the end of 2002, Thailand had deployed 1400 public Internet access points. A survey was carried out to know who used these Internet access points, how and for what uses.

A critical analysis of the adoption and utilization of the Internet in Thailand for educational purposes, by Noppadol Prammanee retraces the story of the development of the Internet in Thailand and gives a view on the local government Internet policies and initiatives.

It’S Call LoVE ?

In life, people fall in love at many stages. It is very possible for every person no matter their age to feel or fall in love.
 However, there is a certain stage in life where we reach and everyone seems to want love. I'm talking about the teenage years and love.  
When a teenager falls in love, it is referred to as teenage love. Teens are very volatile people and this is pretty understandable. It is the first time in life to feel the urge to love the opposite sex.
This is on the onset of their physical growth. Their hormones are usually referred to as running wild and this is very much the case. Teenage is a confusing place to be because you are not old enough to be called mature and you are not too young to be called a child. This is the time where most youth act out and when it comes to the matters of the heart, a lot of them fall in love. Teenage love has sometimes been referred to as  not being real love.
 Instead, experts say that a lot of feelings that teens have for the opposite sex is mainly infatuation. This is a form of lust that passes with time.

Introduction

What love is? Why should I cloud have love?

Dictionaries have different meanings for this word. But when I think about this word, my mind  conjures up images of all kinds of beautiful things that I  have always  associated with this word.

Flowers,  chocolates, candle  light dinners, hearts, soft toys, clothes and  perfumes,  (I hope I haven’t left anything out!) these are the words that  have become synonymous with love…but, what about the feelings and emotions  associated with this word!

I remember growing up with stars in my eyes and love songs ringing through my ears. Slowly my dreams grew bigger and I started waiting for my Prince Charming to come along and take me with him to a beautiful land where we would be surrounded by servants, good clothes, flowers and jewelry. One day I realized the truth about love...that it was much more than material comforts and gains.

Love is Sharing

Love is Talking

Love is Spending Time Together

Love is Faithfulness

Love is Being Friends

Love is Looking Together in the Same Direction

" Love is the flower of life, and blossoms unexpectedly
and without law, and must be plucked where it is found,
and enjoyed for the brief hour of its duration."
- D. H. Lawrence

Discussion

What about when the teenage have love?

In life,   people fall in   love at many stages.   It is very possible for   every person no  matter their  age to feel or fall in love.    However,  there is a certain stage in life where we reach and everyone seems to  want love.

I'm talking   about the teenage years and love.   When  a teenager falls  in love, it is referred to as teenage love. Teens are  very volatile people and this is pretty  understandable.
 It is the first time in life to feel the urge to love the opposite sex. This is on the onset of their physical growth. Their hormones are usually referred to as running wild and this is very much the case. Teenage is a confusing place to be because
 you are not old enough to be called mature and you are not too young to be called a child.

 This is the time  where most youth act out and when it comes to the  matters of the heart , a lot of them fall in love. Teenage love has sometimes been referred to as not being real love.
 Instead, experts say that a lot of feelings that teens have for the opposite sex is mainly infatuation. This is a form of lust that passes with time.


However, love being hard to define, it is vital that all cases be looked at differently.
 It is during this stage that many teens make the worse mistakes of their lives but, this is usually not the case in other situations. Sexually, teens what to experience and explore first hand,  the kind of emotions that are associated with love.  It is therefore paramount to understand exactly what they are going through before you are quick to give them advice.
The biggest issue that is always a source of debate is sex during teenage.  
Many want to know what it is all about. Others believe that for love to be real there must be sexual intercourse.

 With the modern world,   more and more teens are having choices when it comes to sex.  Many have not come up openly to condemn teenage sex. In the past,  when young people reached teenage, this was a time for them to be married off.
For this reason,  teens cannot be totally condemned for wanting to exercise that which has been there since time began.   

  However, with civilization, more and more parents have come out strongly to condemn any love consummation for their teens

The question whether this is  real love or not,  still remains as more  teens get  involved emotionally  with other people.
One thing  that  we  can  say for sure is that, if the  love during teenage is not real;  the person  involved will have to learn through experience.  Thankfully, teenage is  only  a phase of life and as you grow, you will   discover things  and become  wiser in the matter of love.   However,  when it comes to love, no one can claim to be an expert. It comes without mention and no one has control over it.
    Therefore, the best thing that teens can do is to empower themselves and know how to handle themselves when it comes to matters of the heart. Otherwise, love is meant to be enjoyed to the fullest.

For example

 “ let’s teens talk about their love”

By M Perira

  

Wild teens are those who don’t want to be caged inside social law.

They are the people who don’t want to be bound by straight set rules. They are the thrill seeker, the attention-getter , the outcasts who just want to find something

By Valerie Panting

Breaking Thought the Taboo

Sexually transmitted diseases are an unnecessary epidemic that drains our society. Mandatory classes on sexual education could change this.

Preserving this great nation’s youth is a job for the adults

Conclusion

Love is more powerful and love is beautiful for someone who arrange their love to the right way…

But love about the teens is the first time in life to feel the urge to love the opposite sex. This is on the onset of their physical growth. Their hormones are usually referred to as running wild and this is very much the case. Teenage is a confusing place to be because you are not old enough to be called mature and you are not too young to be called a child. This is the time where most youth act out and when it comes to the matters of the heart.

Instead, experts say that a lot of feelings that teens have for the opposite sex is mainly infatuation.

For us; their love is not consistent, many teens try to make or follow form trend when they have love.

For their love is contain with two things; Sex and Emotion.

And love in this age, they have two pattern for love

Both positive and negative.

Positive : they might think that if they been together, its mean they try to lean their life and want freedom, or they  want to success with their gold.

Negative : someone or some religions say that it totally wrong. Because they might think that it not the purposes to do it.
