Year 9, before we go any further, let's take a look at a short video which offers a view of what a wiki is.





Keep in mind that we are going to create a wiki which will offer information to teens who are moving abroad. The wiki platform that we will use is PB Works (http://pbworks.com).  The wiki is located here: http://whereamigoing.pbworks.com .

Now onto the next stage of the Investigate:
2. Develop a Design Brief.  This is the part of the project where you ask questions that will help you solve your problem. Please write a sentence to introduce this part of the project.

  • What is a wiki?  Explain, Include detailed information
  • What information should I include on my wiki page?  (Look at different websites for your country to gather information and ideas.) Analyze findings - what did you like?  what didn't you like? include url of website and printscreen.
  • What information will I include on my wiki page? Explain.  (Look at the existing wiki pages to get ideas).  Include that information here. You can copy/paste info into the wiki page BUT you must source it properly.
  • Gather images for your page.  (Keep them in a file folder.)  Keep a list of the url where you got the picture or use Royalty Free pictures.
  • Gather links and videos for your page.  (Keep them in a file folder.)
Use more than 5 sources to complete this work.  Use in-text referencing and create a Bibliography.

IB Learner Profile: Inquirer
