1. To provide a simple, easily-updated method of communication between school and home. 2. To allow students to check assessment deadlines and course requirements from off-campus. 3. To reduce paper wastage in printed communications.
 * Aims of the project:**

1. Promote this resource, alongside BIS Buzz and IB DP Noticeboards, as a main method of communication between school and home. 2. Ensure that all information posted on your section of the site is up-to-date and that there is no major discrepancy between what is published here and what is implemented in class.
 * How can we make it work?**

1. Make sure that Steve has the most up-to-date digital copy of your course outline (units covered per semester, including Grade 10), assessment procedures for assigning BIS report grades and resource list. Word template here: //K:\Staff\Curriculum\Curriculum_Support\IBDP Resources\IB Handbook & Wikispace\Wiki Pages// 2. Ideally, all teachers will embrace the project, sign up for wikispaces and edit their own section of the site. This is not essential – but please make sure that information published is accurate. 3. Make sure that the due dates section is completed when assignments are set. These should be written on the DP Notice Board outside the DP Office. Technologcally challenged may wish to assign a member of their class as homework monitor to keep the assessments calendar on the noticeboard updated, or even to help them plug the information into the wikispace. Complete word document and (if possible) update your section of the wikispace. Update BIS IBDP handbook so that it can be printed for the new intake in 2009.
