Abstract
This article describes a strategy for using an inexpensive RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) reader and tags in the classroom to teach a variety of basic principles of information technology to students taking an introductory Management Information Systems (MIS) course. A "show and tell" RFID reader hardware and software demonstration generates student interest to drive an interactive discussion about the uses and limitations of RFID tags. This sets the stage for a short PowerPoint slide session followed by a case study relating to the use of RFID to achieve competitive advantage in supply chain management.
