=Welcome to Our New Wikipage= ==This wiki is for my classmembers to reflect on the learning during our 17 weeks.== You need to keep a journal/ portfolio/ folder of evidence of learning so each of you will need to update your page each week. This is worth 15 % of the total mark so please learn how to edit and add to your page. Once you know how, you can hyperlink, add graphs, widgets, tables, links to video - very exciting to learn new ICT skills. ENJOY!!
