IT Basic Training (Day 2)

Here's a link to the document we used to create our blog last year. Please access it if there's something on your blog that's just 'not right'.

Of course, you can always come to me to help you figure it out, as well.

Also, read pages 1-12 in your textbook over the break.

ITGS Project Deadlines

Alright 12s, the Project is going to consume a large amount of your ITGS time this year. Please take a look at the following dates:

Criterion A - 7th September

Criterion B - 24th September

Criterion C - 22nd October

Criterion D - 2nd November (Use Comic Life)

Criterion E - 12th December

Criterion F - 18th Jan

Click here for further information on the Criteria.

The dates are subject to change (but they won't change too much!).

Secondly, I want you to look in your ITGS Google Folder where you'll find the 'Forms' for the project. The IB requires that we follow a strict template for submitting work, so make sure you hang onto these files (it would be a good idea to make a blank copy of the Forms right now, in case you want to work on them offline).

Welcome Back ITGS!!

It's time to get back into the habit of thinking with the Triangle again! In case you've forgotten what it's all about, take a look here.

I want you to analyze the article (I'll give it to you in class) using the tools we practiced last year. Remember, this is very close to how your exams are going to be structured.
