Useful links to help with the iMedia projects
There are various tasks on the iMedia projects that need you to research and write about different topics. This page contains some links to websites and resources that will help you on those tasks - use these along side your lessons and the other material on this website.
Remember to always state your sources when using research. Do NOT just copy and paste. I will spot it, and even if I miss it, the moderators will definitely spot it and you will get 0 marks for that section, and quite possibly the entire project. Watch the video here if you need help on how to use such information.
