=Year 11 English Studies students welcome to our new wiki, "Digital Worlds". =

 In this module you will explore and critique the worlds we access through digital technology.  You will examine the language, structure, purpose and audiences of digital texts, and further develop your skills in using language  appropriately and accurately to compose and engage interactively within these texts.  You will consider the potential of new technologies for democratic participation and social change.  You will reflect on your responsibilities as users of digital technology and on the ethical dimensions of the digital world.

Your assessment task for this unit will be to design, create and post a personal wiki page of your very own!

Each personal page will have specific components that you will create and post.

Your page will be YOUR NAME and YOU are the only one allowed to edit YOUR page. Remember to be responsible and aware of what you choose to post on this digital platform.
