Mock exams over

Where do the weeks go!!!!!
The mocks are now over, apologies to anyone who was affected last Thursday and yesterday. Forms 1 to form 3 are moving along nicely with their GEA project. They are creating awareness of the problems some animals are facing using their IT skills. Some of the blogs that the form III are posting are excellent in their detail. Some of the studnets are struggling with the ideas/concept that the planning stage of any project should take as much time as creating the product.
Form IV are already half way through finishing their wiki. I thought they would take a number of weeks but with most people working extremely hard we should be finished in less than 3 weeks.
The form V’s have finished their mocks. I will be going over the papers with them in class starting tomorrow showing them where they went wrong and all that. We still have a lot of work to do. I hope they are now a lot more aware of where they stand. We have roughly 11 weeks to the real practical exams!!!!! Get ready to really start working form V's
IB's I have started their projects and the class has now been split between higher and core. Both sets of students will be busy with their work in the coming months
Anyways till next week

Dear All
Keeping this up to date is going to be harder than I expected. As my IB students can testify (recently we did an online project for 1 week) keeping a blog is harder than you think.
Anyway for this week in ICT where are we going?
Forms 1, 2 and 3 are all working for the GEA, the global environment association. Their job is to create awareness about different animals that are endangered in this world. They are currently doing research on the animals and making a plan on the work they will be doing over the next 10 weeks. All students are keeping a log or an online blog of what they are doing. I encourage all parents to have a look at this log/blog
Form 4 are involved in a WIKI project (http://bmisigcseit.wikispaces.com/). They will be creating a set of online notes that will benefit them immensely next year. The form 5 students will also be able to use these notes this year.
Form 5 are doing their mock exam’s. They have completed paper 1 last Friday and will be sitting paper II this Thursday and Paper 111 next Monday. I wish them all the best!
IB 1 are also doing a collaborative project using WIKI(http://bmisitgs.wikispaces.com/). It is a work in progress that will hopefully give them a better understanding of what is expected of them for IBITGS
Till next time…
If in doubt
Use the Force

Hi Everyone

Dear All
To all the parents and pupils of BMIS, this is the start of what I hope will help the ICT department and myself communicate more efficiently with pupils, parents and prospective parents alike.
