CPCOM

We come in to contact with computers every day. Not only do we use it for Facebook and Twitter we use it for learning. There are uses and misuses of computer a use would be learning a misuse could be pirating and hacking which is a major problem today. We are in an advanced digital age where we do our day to day routines where we come in to contact with a computer. We do banking, buying, and now learning. When we learn from computers we are becoming advanced than from the traditional style of the earlier century of teaching. Students will have course work that is online ad teachers will communicate with their students through computers via email or blog or even through a Facebook group. One building is instrumental to the use of computers by communication, security and understanding of computers that building is the Building of CPCOM. CPCOM is located next to ASU Bookstore 501 E. Orange St
Tempe, AZ 85287. CPCOM has three floors of classrooms and offices for the staff and the students to use.

CPCOM is the center for computing and the center for information, security and understanding of computers whether through the Tech Studio or the Compute Store or the offices in the UTO section of CPCOM, the University Technology Office. Not only does this place offer information they also offer protection the people of ASU. The people will send out information via email about threats to computers and how to get protection. They also will send out information about prevention of illegal activity and will track what students are downloading and will receive notifications when there is a one student who does not follow the policy and the law. Disciplinary action can be taken when one does not follow the rules it could range from taking an awareness class that teaches students about policy and the illegality of pirating to taking ones computer off the network and will receive disciplinary actions on a student’s transcript or ultimately be expelled and receive a fine for piracy and other misuses . In result CPCOM is a place that is good for computers.

The following annotations will be judged on whether CPCOM is a good place for computers.  A good place for computers should have a place that has the option for tech support where one can have their computer fixed, a place to buy a computer, and a place to use computers. CPCOM has those criteria. Without these criteria being filled it would not be a good place for computers.

CPCOM is an advanced learning environment where there is an interaction between computers and humans. This place is where students can use computers and where they can also learn more about computers. The building also offers meeting rooms for students and faculty. The building offers the students wired classrooms for use of the internet and they are also able to acquire help with their computer needs with the Tech studio that ASU offers to the students. The CPCOM building is a foundation to the advancement of the technology. The building is for all computer needs. Whenever one will go into CPCOM’s store or tech center they should think "Computers are for everyone no one will be left behind" (Smith 2). The CPCOM building is a beacon of information and protection to the staff, Faculty, and students of ASU. This is good for our Digital
 age.

  1. I think you did a great job with how you set up your map. However, to make it easier to go from link to link, maybe you should add a map or link to go to the next page you would like the audience to see. You have a few spelling mistakes (most likely from typing a bit too fast). A closing statement, before your works cited, would also be a smart move. Just as Professor L suggested, you could look into linking your sources to the works cited page. Overall, I enjoyed your project.

  2. I take it that this is your introduction into the project. Although you are pointing out why you want to talk about in the areas relating to technology use, you haven't listed any evaluating criteria that you would use to tell the students about the area. This is basically the main point of the project. You want the students to know what you are evaluating in these areas so they know which area is better for different reasons. Maybe one area is better at fixing broken computers, and another is better at programing computer information.
    Some good points of evaluation that you could use is if the area is easily available for student access. EX is one open later/longer then the other areas? Are some only open certain days of the week?
    What types of help do the students get in a certain area? Ex Is one better at helping students upload programs and another area is better fixing a broken hard drive?
    Is one area better for group work and one better for quiet work?
    By setting up a criteria to which you are evaluating the building, the reader can understand why you chose to talk about certain points in your annotations.
    Also make sure that you expand on your intro. It needs to be about 800 words when finished. This is a fine draft, but keep that in mind.
