At ISH, the aim is provide a course that embraces both the social and ethical aspects of the IB course along with an exposure to a broad range of the latest technologies. During the course students complete;

Tests: One test after each chapter in text 'Computer Confluence'. Questions will be multiple choice and short answer.

Digital Notebook (on Microsoft Word): Points are gained through having homework complete, on time and neatly presented.

Study Problems of the type that can be expected on the IB exam will be assigned as practice questions as part of the review for the IB exam. All students will be graded as they are also good practice questions for the course exam. (See 'Exercises and Assignments' on menu bar at left)

Project: Each person must choose a problem and produce:

A product developed by integrating IT tools.

A written report (2000-2500 words) discussing the development, implementation and testing of the product.

A daily log book or digital journal (separate from the digital notebook described above) containing all rough work developing the project. Log book will be collected weekly and marked for detail and progress.

Attendance/Participation : Full points can be earned for coming to class on time every day, actively participating and displaying a positive attitude towards learning and activities in class

At the end of the year, materials for moderation will be sent off and you will sit the exams.
