Welcome to MOFTECH 1st SY 2009-2010

Welcome Dear Students of MOFTECH!

We had a smooth start with an overview of the importance of MIS, present global trends in doing business, the internet economy and the need for knowledge management and sharing. We heard the reports on the Computer & Communication Trends and the Roles of the CIO and the IS Executives.

Suddenly we were disturbed by the presence of the N1H1 case in the campus (Bulletin : Influenza A H1N1 Virus http://www.dlsu.edu.ph/offices/mds/bulletin/influenza/)

This does not mean we should discontinue our desire to learn more on the subject matter. So please follow the announcements we are going to have in this blog.

We will also have the online meeting on June 10 (1-3pm for S13) and (3-5pm FOR S14). Note that the original online meeting schedule was June 4.

So please take note, our online meeting is on JUNE 10, 2009 - 1-3pm for S13 and 3-5pm FOR S14, MLA TIME.
