The Role of Technology

Technology plays an important role in almost every work of the Sentinel project. The creative application of technical tools made us more effective, from gathering information to implementing precautionary measures. Here are some important technical aspects of our work:

Information gathering - Effective early warning may require access to large amounts of information. The latest tools such as social media and mobile technology may collect information directly from members of the threatened community. Since the Iranian violence following the 2009 general election and protest actions throughout North Africa in 2011, sites like Twitter and Facebook have shown the possibility to obtain information from countries with repressive government . As it is done on sites like Ushahidi, it represents the result of disasters like the 2010 Haiti earthquake, based on information submitted by the public through text messages. These tools are equally effective in monitoring potential genocide

Information management - Our technical team is currently developing a database useful for organizing and analyzing information reported to us from all sources. This will be a great tool for our research analysts, especially when processing huge amounts of information.

Visualization and communication - Many of the processes we monitor and report are complicated and difficult to fully understand. By designing a system that visualizes trends and patterns (SOC) that will function under specific problems, we will provide this information in a clear format to the public, other organizations, and decision makers can do.

Preventive measures - One of the most exciting areas in which technology works is prevention of real genocide. Examples include fighting the identification of Web sites that stimulate hatred, using cellular networks to record abuse, warnings to communities that are being threatened, and to a safe place in the target group using GPS technology There are guidance of.

Laura Tyson: Well, technology makes the job safer. They can clean them. They can make up for human skills in a very interesting way. Given the role of technology in education, the role of technology in training and the role of technology in healthcare, basically it is increasing to take care of the elderly. Yes, this technology has the potential to make us better in various ways. But that brings about risk. Most people in the world are working for income, and their income is essential to their lives. If you think the income of many workers may be hindered and reduced by technology, this is a social issue, a policy issue.

An important question is raised about the role of technology in student life. However, the answer to these questions is not to stop acquiring technology. This is not a problematic tool; this is how we use it. Most students know how to use technology in a superficial way, but they have not yet got guidance on how to support detailed research on topics of interest. This is where schools and teachers play an important role as learning experience designers. Embedding online learning in high school shows students how to make technology more flexible and relevant. It teaches them healthy and productive habits in technology use and digital citizenship.

And the world background. Thinking about various topics can give students a lasting impression of the important role of technology but how to explore these themes means that the role technology plays today is equally important is showing. Technology has laid the information age already created. When a student uses the CD-ROM and the Internet to discover the past in the electronic classroom, they will need, for example: critically reflecting ethical issues • Independently and intentionally Work, learn. Personal growth seems to require us to know who we are first; we have a sense of identity, and we are aware that we can make these choices Know where you apply. If students are not exposed to history, they will rob the students from this self-awareness.
