ITGSWiki

In this ever rapidly changing world of ICT keeping up is challenging!

This ITGS wiki is a collaborative resource project designed to be used by I.B. Information Technology in a Global Society (ITGS) teachers and students.

The I.B ITGS teacher and students work together researching, entering and editing each others additions on topics in the field of IT and its impact on a global society. 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 ITGS that will continue to evolve with the changing world of ICT.

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

This is not a locked wiki and if students and teachers wish to join in and make this wiki a truly wonderful resource please do. EDIT AWAY

Maybe we could even do global projects ....
