The Post You've All Been Waiting For!

...or perhaps not!

I'd like to share the task that 46A will be working on during their Senior Lab sessions for the rest of term. They have received a brief to keep in their ICT folder, and I have uploaded a copy here as well, in case they want a reminder of the parameters to work on it at home and bring it in on a USB to put into their group's presentation. We will be asking them to present in the last week of school, after which I will upload the presentations (or those that students are okay with having theirs uploaded) so you can see what they can do!

Prior to commencing this project, students have had experience navigating Microsoft Power Point and learning some of the vital functions. This project aims to have them show that they can use those functions to communicate or add to a particular message (in this case, facts about an era in the Earth's geological history).

For students who would like direct links to the resources we used in class, voila:
