So your first year of ITGS is over and summer is about to begin - and as I know you will get bored I thought I would give you some important work to do over summer.

Remember the Case Study that I talked about - well it is time to get yourself fully acquainted with it - by first of all going to our wiki. And simply reading through the different sections and areas - seeing how you will be able to research around the different topics and case study in general. You will then need to go to the IT Systems page and choose 7 of the IT Systems listed and research and create a page describing how the systems work and how they relate to the Case Study. The choice is on a first come first served basis - so if someone else has chosen a specific IT System page then you will have to choose a different one.

Each IT System page - should have been researched from a number of sources - and have pictures, diagrams, links, text and video to explain the system fully  in detail. Remember to link and then also cite your sources at the bottom of the page.

Any questions you know who to call,

Have a great summer.

Dr T

Hello Grade 11's, remember you have been given an extra day on your portfolio draft and also time in class. So here are your deadlines :-

1) By end of Friday you must have shared your first full draft of your second portfolio - make sure it is structured into the correct sections, has a copy of the article copied into the GDOC and has a Bibliography etc. Please use the criteria and guide to make sure you are on the right track. Remember to use citations and cite all sources. YOU will have less drafts for this portfolio so make this first one count!
2) You should have finished your database tutorials by Friday.
3) If all else is finished make sure you are working on your database assignment - thinking through all the elements listed on the worksheet on the Assignment post on the weblog.

So plenty to do - so don't waste your time,

• Social Nets Need New Privacy Rule Book, Says Senator

  Clear rules are needed to govern what social networks can do with the massive amount of personal data they collect and how they inform their users about their practices, said Sen. Charles Schumer, who has asked the FTC to articulate a set of guidelines. Facebook claims it offers users "powerful" privacy tools, but Paul Stephens of the Privacy Rights Clearinghouse suggested consumers need a PhD to understand them.\n
