In this ever rapid world of ICT, keeping up with the changes is challenging!

This is a collaborative resource project designed to be used our and other IB Design Technology teachers and students.

The teacher and students work together researching, entering and editing each others additions. The aim is to use and develop higher order thinking skills, co-operative learning procedures and interpersonal skills in a project based learning environment.

The hoped result is a resource and project wiki dedicated to Design Technology that will continue to evolve with the changing world of ICT.

The best part ... we can show off what we are learning!
