      Assessment:<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n

      This course is designed to utilize a project-based learning strategy. \u00a0Each unit of study will have two or three\u00a0main projects that students will be required to complete in addition to smaller learning tasks, quizzes and discussions. \u00a0As such, projects will carry the heaviest weighting for the student\u2019s overall grade. \u00a0Students are expected to also maintain a digital portfolio of their various assignments so that they can showcase their learning and projects. \u00a0It is recommended that students use either the Edublog<\/a> or WordPress<\/a> platform for creating their digital portfolio. \u00a0If students have a strong desire to use a different platform, it must first be approved by Mr. Jamieson. \u00a0Students are expected to update their portfolio on a regular basis and the portfolios will be assessed at the end of the course.<\/span><\/p>\n
