The process that I made this brick is like this: I first did some research myself, I went to our school inner website and based on my knowledge, I picked “email” because I know that my school has changed the email system several times. I found some of the “email system” names but there’s no way I can find the reason they changed the email system and more details such as the the “baseline” and “retirement” systems. I then set up appointments with school principal, ICT teachers, the manager of IT and other department manager such as HR and Finance.
The manager of IT offered me information about the name of those systems. He emphasised his and his team’s role at IT department is to provide servers and the maintenance.The principal and the ICT teachers provided me more information about the background and reason why they had these changes. One of the ICT teachers has been at WAB for 20 years and has known all the history of the change. It’s also him suggest me to change “email” to “collaborative document storage.” Because we discussed from the MS 365 outlook for school wide email system, to the big function of MS 365, not only in email system, but deeply it’s a collaborative storage system. The principal of WAB shared with me the unique difficulty of technology application in China and how she and other administrators dealt with Chinese government with the technology issues.
The process of the change of the collaborative storage has benefited WAB because as you can see from the brick, the “retirement” systems such as “Zimbar” “Google docs” were actually much better than “MS365” technically, however, Chinese government blocked them to use. Long time ago, teachers even had hand shared servers to share documents. These applications eliminated now and changed to MS 365 in the email system now, and will add other collaborative sharing functions such as calendar, group chats, documents sharing and files delivering, etc. They shared with me that MS 365 currently is not blocked yet, it maybe though. I have learned that comparing with other systems, Microsoft 365 will benefits WAB because all the collaborative documents sharing are in one system which is good for teachers and students to use and for IT team to set up, maintain and sustain.
