Year+9+Online+Portfolio

=Year 9 Digital Creations=

Over the course of this semester, you will be producing an online portfolio of ‘digital creations’ which contains all your work you’ll do in this subject. You will upload all your work to your portfolio, which is presented in the form of a ‘Wordpress’ blog.
 * Aim:**

To focus the content of your online portfolio, you need to come up with an overriding theme. This theme will frame the tasks of your portfolio into a coherent and unified body of work.

Your theme can be broad and philosophical (e.g. happiness/freedom/friendship) or can be specific and narrow (e.g. a sport or a hobby). You can also choose to create a fictional person and create a fictional life, which incorporates all the tasks you will be doing this semester. If you are unsure if your theme is appropriate, check with your teacher before beginning to create your portfolio.


 * You can work individually or in a pair.
 * You will be completing 9 tasks, all of which you’ll upload to your portfolio. (Plus there are three extra optional tasks)
 * If you work individually, you’ll complete 7 of the 9 tasks.
 * If you work in a pair, you are required to complete all 9 tasks, and your portfolio (=blog) needs to be twice as good.
 * If working in a pair, you need to work simultaneously on a task; both of you work on the same task at the same time.
 * Important:

You will be uploading all your work to the internet, therefore it is important for legal reasons that throughout this project, you, your school mates and the school remain unidentified. As an online citizen you are required to be responsible for your actions and the content that you create and upload to your blog.
 * Do not use your own name or the school’s name.
 * Do not use photos which identify you, your classmates or the school.

Working in IT
The aim of this subject is to increase your general skills in computer use, develop into an aware and competent digital citizen and introduce you to aspects of software, programming, multimedia, technology and the internet you may not have used before. Part of this process is developing your ability to problem solve, to think laterally and to be creative. If you have any questions, follow Aunt AGATHA:
 * 1) Ask a classmate
 * 2) Google it
 * 3) Access FAQ files (if available)
 * 4) Think laterally and creatively; is there a workaround solution?
 * 5) Help files (if available)
 * 6) Ask you teacher
