Following our conversations last class, this is the first blog post for our G10 MYP Technology class (2nd Semester)!

Please take some time to browse around the MYP Technology website and find/review information about the course, schedule, assessment criteria, expectations, assignment standards, how to submit your assignments and policies among others.

I have also posted the updated A/B days calendar in the MYP Technology website's home page.

Following the IB MYP Technology curriculum (Group 8) , we will be using the core tool: Design Cycle.

Please read in detail the information available at these links.

For further understanding and reflection on the Design Cycle, please read the article below so we can discuss it in class.

Looking into every stage of the Design Cycle, we will make a mind map showing what "happens" in each stage. Let's start with Investigation!

Resources you can use are:
