This week, we continue our task on article review. Apart from writing an article review, we also need to do a PowerPoint presentation based on the article review that we have done.
Since we are given more time to complete the article review, we try our best to edit it to make it more perfect. We came across another interesting issue that we have found regarding the software piracy. Government announced that schools are allowed to use pirated software for educational purposes. The reasons given for this issue is to increase the using of technology among students since students cannot afford to buy original software.
In my opinion, this suggestion has its own pros and cons. For the pros, students can easily access to various types of software and undoubtedly they learn more technology skills. Besides that, it is a good way to reduce the cost and expenses since all types of software can be downloaded from internet without paying a single dime.
However, on the other hand, software piracy is a crime in Malaysia. Doesn’t it mean that all of us are criminals if we use pirated software even for educational purposes? Besides that, all an educator, we should set ourselves as a role model to our students. If we as a teacher support pirated software, then all our young students sure will follow the paces of their teachers.
As a conclusion, this issue is a very controversial issue and many people are debating over it. For more details about our article review, kindly visit:
