Employees’ Rights, Obligations Pitfalls in Litigation_“Lifelong Learner ”
A lifelong learner means that I am in the pursuit of knowledge for personal and professional reasons. Lifelong learners are always open for new ideas and ever changing learning opportunities in the world today. Because the world and everything in life is always changing, so learning should continue to change in needs and styles and should always be on-going. What I have learned about “Employees’ Rights, Obligations Pitfalls in Litigation” in this chapter can really make a change in my workplace if everyone commit to these new ideas that has changed in the law in today’s world. The world is changing and becoming a lifelong learner means changing the way they look at their rights at the workplace. Employees should follow the rules at work the same as they do for their home and other public places. Rules are made to keep the law and order everywhere and without rules and law the world would not be fit to live in. Following the rules and office etiquette will make it a great place to work for everyone. As a lifelong learner I would use what I have learned from this chapter and make changes in my workplace environment by remembering that the office is for work and when using the computer use online etiquette because the computer belongs to the company not me. I am obligated to do the work I was hired for and following the rules in the office is part of my job as an employee. I know that the company has priority when it comes to monitoring the office and the way I behave while working and using equipment to do my work. Laws and rules are there to protect both employees and the employer. Learning is here to stay, so learning how to work in an office and use online and e-mail etiquette is a must in today’s world. Workshops can also be used to evaluate the quality of the information and organize it so it can be used effectively to create a more innovated learning environment for students. If you know you have a problem, meet with employees and make sure they understand such conduct will result in disciplinary action if it continues. I understand and know that everyone needs to be concerned with and know abut morality, ethics, and employee morale.
Employees’ Rights, Obligations Pitfalls in Litigation_ Reflections
Our workforce cans create challenges for employers in managing employee relations. The way an employer respond to and investigate internal complaints of things like harassment, discrimination and other misconduct and allegations can have a very serious impact legally. The company is one who should be in charge of the way the office and the way employees behave in the workplace. The computers are the property of the company and that is why its employees should not do anything improper when using the company’s computers. Using E-mail etiquette is very important in the workplace. This is a very convenient way to talk to someone who may not want to be disturbed by telephone. This is also a way to make mistakes by sending e-mails that are inappropriate or even personal to be read by others for one reason or another. E-mail should not be used for personal use in the office. When working in an office, you represent the office and online laws apply online and off line. Also, when surfing the internet we should be careful not to go to adult online site that violate company’s rules. Employees should not visit popular site like face-book and eBay during office hours and on the company’s computer. Work and the social network should remain separate in the office for many reasons.

A change agent lives in the future and not the past because they have a vision of what they want to see happen in the world around them. A change agent tries to inspire what they feel in others. Getting people to change is very hard when they are so use to doing things the old way. A change agent must be very strong in what they believe in to make others change too because they not only must make the change but must have the courage and be willing to do what is best for the community or work place.
Acting as a change agent about development and upkeep, laws, issues, and solutions in websites can be a challenge in many ways. Working as a change agent I would get the person creating the website to follow the ten step mentioned and get them to change the way the way they look at creating a website. My goal is to get then to consider all the issues and concerns about creating a website and to make them aware that others in our workplace and community should be aware of the issues. This change could get everyone involved and thus solve the problem of someone getting sued for lack of knowledge about creating a website without issues with the law. As a change agent I would be the voice to help educate others and getting others involved would help implement change and help people succeed in the world around them.

Managing IT and Software_“Reflective Practitioner”
As a “Reflective Practitioner” I would use what I have learned from this chapter and make changes in my workplace environment by looking at the work I do, and the work process, and considers how I can improve.

Managing IT and Software
I learned that when managing IT and software one methodology to consider is called joint application development. This development takes end users, executives, tech lawyers, and developers off-site, and way from distractions for meetings where they work out the details of what the developers will create. This way the focus is on the business objectives rather than the programming details. The most important aspect to remember with joint application development is that it requires the top executives to be very involved in the planning process.
The chapter also talks about project scope creep. This is when you feel like you are never going to finish a project and your outsourced tech project never stops growing. Scope creep is the growth or change in your project that happens while you’re working on the project. You also need to define the beginning of the solution carefully. The best agreement for tech projects will include a change order procedure which the project scope is supposed to change. A good change order procedure also involves a written request for a change. A good tech lawyer will impose discipline during implication.
When you license software you, you receive an object code that only your computer can read and humans write programs using source codes. The source codes are human readable codes and software developers consider the source code to be their most valuable trade secret. A source code is the lifeblood of the software developing business. A source code escrow is when you deposit any other information with a neutral third party. There are many ways to set up an escrow and depends on how much you want to invest. A savvy litigant usually add tech attorneys who specialize in e-discovery to handle electronic evidence

The Law: Technology, Copyright, and Intellectual Property
Tech law is the way that technology or the internet has come into our life and changed it. The internet and technology has brought many changes in our life. Federal and state laws protect our music, writing, and other property that we create. They are called “intellectual property” law, and they include copyright, trademark, and our patent laws that are for various situations with each having its own set of technical rules.
When we use the creative work of others we should be concerned with copyright law. Privacy right is used when someone’s work is used. Below is a summary of the various types of intellectual property laws.
- Copyright. Original creative works such as paintings, writing, architecture, movies, software, photos, dance, and music are protected by federal copyright law.
- Trademark. Brand names such as Nike and Avis that identify and distinguish products and services, are protected under federal and state law.
- Right of Publicity. The image and name of a person are protected under a patchwork of state laws known as the right of publicity.
- Trade Secrets. State and federal trade secret laws protect sensitive business information.
- Right of Privacy. Privacy laws preserve the right of all people to be left alone.
As a change agent I would be the voice to help educate others about the special laws that govern the internet when using the creative work of others in the workplace. Continuous collaboration with my colleagues, co-workers, and other people in my community will create and maintain learning environments that assure academic development. Getting others involved in helping would implement change would help people succeed when they interact with the internet using technology laws.
Contracts and Contracting: Law, Issues, and Tips_ Life Long Learner
Technology law requires you to have the ability to apply today’s legal concepts to tomorrow’s emerging technologies. Attorneys must have experience negotiating and drafting simple and complex technology. The reason why you should use contracts is to coordinate independent actions in situations of multiple equilibria. Another reason for using contracts is to implement exchanges that depend on future events. In the insurance context, the transaction is motivated by the insured’s risk aversion.
Contracts can also be useful in situations of hidden information. Normative discussion relating to contract law revolves around the issue of freedom of contract. As a Lifelong Learner who is always learning and building knowledge to help myself grow professionally, my goal is to gain knowledge that can use throughout my life.
