Year 11 - Yesterday's lesson went really well. Your charts looked very professional.

Today, we will look at online storage.

The sites I would like you to look at are: Google Docs, Scribd, and Div Share.

What makes Div Share different from Google Docs and Scribd?

Research all 3, choose 1, sign up, upload a document and share it with me;-)

Year 11, Here is a different kind of lesson. It's of a more practical value. . .

Microsoft has an interesting lesson plan in which you create a survey, then chart and analyze the data. This will be very helpful to you in your future (IB, university, workplace).

Follow the instructions for the Design A Survey and Evaluate the Data

This work will be handed in ;-)
