=//ITGS Global Collaboration Project 2009//=

__//TASK//__ In collaboration with your partner(s) from the other school(s), you will present a brief multi-media presentation using [|VoiceThread] relating to the topic assigned to you by your teacher. The assigned topic is a sub-topic for the Business and Employment Area of Impact. It will be up to you and your partners to decide on a narrowed IT issue related to that topic to present. At the same time, at least 1 social/ethical issue and at least 1 IT system related to the narrowed issue must be referenced and explained within the presentation.

//__EXPECTATIONS__// Your partner(s) and you will develop a group page (click your Group # below) on which you will collaborate and present the link to your final VoiceThread presentation.The teachers would like to see most of the communication and collaboration occuring through the wiki, so use the Discussion tab to relay ideas, questions, scripts, etc, back-and-forth. Be sure to paste links, images, media, and other relevant material on the page, as well. Feel free to create new pages off of your group home page if you need to do so. //These actions form the evidence of your collaboration and will need to be seen to help determine the score you earn as described below//.

//__LEARNING CONTRACT__// After your partner(s) and you decide on the narrowed focus of your topic, you need to create a 'Learning Contract'. This Learning Contract will contain despcriptors about You will need to meet with your teacher to discuss and get the approval of your Contract before you move forward. This contract forms the basis for the assessment of the process and final presentation. An individual partner's descriptors could be written a little bit differently than the other partners to allow for individuality, but the core ideas in the objectives and the qualities of the final presentation should be the same. The teacher will meet with you after viewing your final presentation to determine if you met the highest descriptors you defined in the categories above. From this discussion and a perusal of your group's collaborative wiki page, a score will be determined.
