MODULE 13 - ANECDOTE

THE IMPACT OF MY ICT PROJECT ON SOCIAL CHANGE ICT MAY EMPOWER DISADVANTAGED INDIVIDUALS AND GROUPS TO ENGAGE IN NATIONAL AND GLOBAL POLICY CHOICES THAT AFFECTS THEIR LIVES AND TO TAKE ACTIONS THAT BENEFIT THEM FINANCIALLY, SOCIALLY, AND POLITICALLY. INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY (ICT) ALLOWS US TO OBTAIN INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATE WITH OTHERS AT UNPRECEDENTED SPEEDS AND DISTANCES. THE KNOWLEDGE AND RESOURCE GAP MIGHT EXPAND RAPIDLY FOR INDIVIDUALS WHO DO NOT HAVE ACCESS TO ICT. POVERT AND LACK OS INRASTRUCTURE ARE THE MOST COMMON CAUSES OF THIS ‘DIGITAL DIVIDE’. “WOMEN’S LACK OF ACCESS TO ICT MIGHT BE EXACERBATED BY CULTURAL EXPECTATIONS AND DISCRIMINATIONS. MY GOAL FOR THIS ICT PROJECT, WHICH IS THE WEBSITE PAGE AND FACEBOOK PAGE, IS THAT TO FIND THE RIGHT AUDIENCE, INFORM AND EDUCATE THEM ABOUT THE SOCIAL CHANGE. I HOPE TO SEE A HUGE IMPACT ON SOCIAL CHANGE THROUGH EDUCATING THEM WITH MY ONLINE ADVOCACIES AND AWARENESS.
