Year 11, Tuesday's lesson went really well. Your graphs looked very professional. Mr. Cosgrove will be really impressed with you next term.

Today, we will look at online storage.

The sites I would like you to look at are: Google Docs, Scribd, and Div Share.

What makes Div Share different from Google Docs and Scribd?

Research all 3, open an account in Google Docs, upload a document (Word documents must be saved as Word 97-2003) and share it with the person sitting to your right;-) You must "invite" that person.

After receiving the invitation to edit someone else's documents, make a change to the document by highlighting the text in your favourite colour.

Year 11, Here is a different kind of lesson.

Microsoft has an interesting lesson plan in which you create a survey, then chart and analyze the data. This will be very helpful to you in your future (IB, university, workplace).

Follow the instructions for the Design A Survey and Evaluate the Data

This work will be handed in ;-)

Year 11 you should have completed your film by now. Remember the Create consists of a final product (film), process journal, and a series of paragraphs evaluating your plan and justifying any changes you made.

Now, on to the EVALUATE - Criterion E Maximum 6 points

Students are expected to evaluate the product/solution against the design specification in an objective manner based on testing, and to evaluate its impact on life, society and/or the environment. They are expected to explain how the product/solution could be improved as a result of these evaluations.

Students are expected to evaluate their own performance at each stage of the design cycle and to suggest ways in which their performance could be improved.

To get full marks the student: evaluates the success of the product/solution in an objective manner based on the results of testing, and the views of the intended users. The student provides an evaluation of his or her own performance at each stage of the design cycle and suggests improvements. The student provides an appropriate evaluation of the impact of the product/solution on life, society and/or the environment.
