=​= = = =Welcome to Our New Wikipage= ==This wiki is for my classmembers to reflect on the learning during our 17 weeks.== You need to keep a journal/ portfolio/ folder of evidence of learning so each of you will need to update your page each week. This is worth 15 % of the total mark so please learn how to edit and add to your page. Once you know how, you can hyperlink, add graphs, widgets, tables, links to video - very exciting to learn new ICT skills. ENJOY!!

At least once a week reflect on -
 * __Journal Keeping - it is worth 30%__**
 * What have you achieved
 * What you want to achieve/ goals
 * Positives/ successes
 * Negatives/ limitations/ problems
 * Interesting comments
 * This will pretty much help you write everything that you need to show evidence of learning = + journal

Week 7 I am really happy and proud of the quality of the work done so far by most of our class. So much so that I sent an email to some teachers, including Ms Edwards. Here is her reply!!! "Wow! Sooooo impressive. What is Chris’ last name? Please let him know how impressed I am. I will get Bec Sykes to have a look as well as it links with work she does with Student Voice. Cheers Meredith" emailed Friday 5th March 2010 by Ms Edwards.

So well done Chris and his group. I have told her what a great group you are, which really helps. Many others of you have really impressed me with how qui ckly you learn new skills. So I will try and get us access to more skills, especially videoing, interviews, changing formats like video to CD to wiki etc., using the skills some of you have already, and ICT experts like Simon and John, Mr. Winen and Mr. Kerr. We will all learn from each other!!\

So - These 4 tasks are due Friday 19th March, Week 8. 1. Sheet with 4-5 guided questions to help you research your topic, or hypothesis, and how you are going to do it. 2. Wiki page as journal of your thoughts 3. 5 Ebscohost articles with a short description of why you chose them (skills in annotated bibliography) 4. Survey/ interview questions.

We are in the process of D= Defining, L= locating and S= selecting - 1st 3 stages of DLSOPE and yet you should also be thinking about what it is you want to P= present - how, to who, what for, what is new and interesting and informative about this topic? Make sure you have a primary source, an expert, who you are going to interview, and that you have really good questions for them. Remember the emphasis is on NEW information that you are genuinely curious about. Enjoy, this should be good for you all!! Ms McInnes

If you have any trouble with technology, please make a note in your journal - we will learn how to fix it - maybe - we will learn from each other remember !!!!

This is your Organising stage of the research process - you are putting all the information that you have located and selected, with referencing as you go, into some sort of organised format in preparation for your presentation. A draft of what you are doing - 1 page max., is due on Friday this week. (Week 4 Term 2)
