Hi folks, I hope you had an excellent Idul Fitri break!

SWA News

Grade 7s, today we begin the SWA News unit. Make sure you look through the documents on the IT 7 page (at the top of my blog) to see the examples and how you'll be assessed. Also, check out the 'Design Cycle Explained' link in the sidebar for step-by-step instructions on how to get through each stage.

News can be delivered in a number of different ways. Can you think of three different methods for delivering the news? Check out a few very popular news websites to see how they are different.

Remember, the internet is only one way to deliver the news; don't limit yourself!

ITGS August 22

Today, your task is to find a news article that relates to one of the Areas of Impact that are outlined in Section 3 of the ITGS syllabus. The idea is to find real-life, current situations that show how the world is constantly being affected by IT. You will need to post the article on your blog and ask two questions (designed to start discussions with your classmates). Finally, you must go to two other blogs and answer the questions that have been asked there.

3. Areas of Impact
3.1. Business and Employment Nadia
3.2. Education Nahyeon
3.3. Health Darian
3.4. Arts, Entertainment, Leisure George
3.5. Science/Environment Yohan
3.6. Politics/Government Yohanes

This will be an assignment that we do throughout the year and you will rotate through each of the the Areas of Impact.
