Presenters

= Presenters = We are both teachers of Design and Technology at Sha Tin College, Hong Kong. We have been using Wikispaces as a teaching resource for the past two years, initially to continue supporting the IB Design Technology students outside of the classroom after lessons had finished. This gave them the opportunity to revisit the teaching materials used during the lessons. We were conscious that the materials needed to be accurate, stimulating and dynamic, and used a medium that students were familiar with, and preferred to use. The aesthetics of the Wikispace has always been important, hence as the site developed, a method for creating more visually interesting and interactive materials was sought. The Wikispaces platform, gave us the opportunity to create pages and materials with ease, and is an ongoing living document which is continually updated as the materials are used and revisited. The simplicity and intuitive nature of Wikispaces allows us to make changes and add materials during lessons. As a Faculty we have conscientiously made the decision to allow editing rights to the teachers only. Students create materials collaboratively using Google Docs. We are now beginning to use Google Sites as e-portfolios - a site per class, sharing and collaborating between each other and the teacher. = Natalle Sutton =
