First, let's open Google Docs accounts. At the moment you don't have a folder on the school's server. Will will create Google doc accounts to have a safe place to house our documents. Take 15 minutes and follow these instructions to create your own account:http://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:k75XkZTask4J:www.aea11.k12.ia.us/curriculumnet/downloads/08/Google_Docs_Acct.doc+how+to+set+up+a+google+docs+account&cd=5&hl=en&ct=clnk
Next,
Let's look at the Unit of Work, and the Areas of Interaction Guide before we get started.
Year 10,
Remember there are 3 tasks in the Investigation. The first task is IDENTIFY THE PROBLEM.
As you know, each MYP Technology Class presents you with a problem to solve. The "problem" is the "guiding question";-) Our guiding question is: "How can I use computer technology to make people aware of social issues?"
The best way to begin your Investigation is by writing a paragraph that explains the problem as you understand it. Then connect your project to at least 2 Areas of Interaction.
According to the Assessment Rubric. . .
To get a 1/2: The student states the problem.
To get a 3/4: The student describes the problem, mentioning its relevance.
To get a 5/6: The student explains the problem, discussing its relevance.
Look at these words: states, describes, explains. How are they different?
Look at these words: mentioning, discussing. How are they different?
Drafts of the Identify the Problem will be due April 8. I will then be able to make corrections and return them to you in a timely manner.
To help you decide which social issue check out sites like: Amnesty International, Greenpeace or do a keyword search on Google (social injustice issues)

Thanks for your cooperation;-)
Learning objective: Differentiate action verbs, begin writing project intro (Identify the problem).
