ITGS stands for "Information Technology in a Global Society". This class is a Higher Level (HL) course offered as part of our International Baccalaurate program.
An IT system is any system that stores, transfers, manages or manipulates data. DATA is the key!!! An IT System is a collection of resources and configuration items or assets that are necessary to deliver an IT Service. An IT System is the complete composite of IT components from various domains which when brought together in a relationship represent a value added technology solution. Examples include local area networks or application systems such as an Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP). In the case of applications, the relevant IT System is not the application as a stand alone element, but rather is the collection of all of the components which together build the complete solution or system (e.g. application software, databases, servers and middleware, etc.). An IT System is sometimes referred to as a Technology Solution.

As technologies progress, there are advantages and disadvantages. This class explores a variety of technologies (listed in Section 2 on the navigation bar at left), how they work, how they are used, the associated social and ethical issues (listed in Section 1) and the areas of impact (listed in Section 3).
