All students must understand the following links ... ||  || ... ||   || ... ||   ||
 * **Link** || **Description** || **Links to Other Strands** ||
 * http://itgsopedia.wikispaces.com/COMMAND+TERMS || Understanding the command terms is vital to writing responses to examination questions.
 * http://itgsopedia.wikispaces.com/BIG+Ideas || The BIG IDEAS for ITGS are the foundation for Paper 1.
 * [|http://www.webopedia.com] || All responses on examinations must use appropriate IT terminology (Strand 2) as well as terminology relating to social and ethical considerations (Strand 1).
 * [|https://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?key=0Ag0G5eFosxgcdHRaV09CNTk3VFNNOWZQM3E4SkNNTmc&hl=en_GB#gid=0] || Describing Processes. Many questions ask how a particular IT system works. This spreadsheet is a sample of the kind of step-by-step processes or processes that may need to be explained on Paper 1 examinations. ||

The structure of SL Paper 1 (1 hour 45 minutes)
Students answer 3 of 5 structured questions on the HL/SL core topics. The topics are presented as scenarios. (60 marks)

The structure of HL Paper 1 (2 hours and 15 minutes)
Students answer 4 of 7 structured questions
 * 2 questions out of 3 based on the HL/SL core topics
 * 1 question out of 2 on 3.10 IT systems in organizations
 * 1 question out of 2 on 3.11 Robotics, Artificial Intelligence and Expert Systems

In order to be successful on Paper 1, students must:

 * Know the meaning of all of the **command terms** (i.e. identify, describe, explain... these appear on pages 70-71 of the ITGS Guide) and what kind of response is expected for each
 * all of the IT terminology in the ITGS guide (i.e. in a recent examination the words identification, recognition and authentication were all used. What is the difference?)
 * Studied the strands using an integrated approach (see Triangle below) using the scenarios as a basis for looking at IT systems and the related social and ethical considerations.
 * Practice writing responses to all parts (a), (b) and (c) on Paper-1 type questions and receive feedback from their teacher.
 * Discuss frequently news articles and current news stories in class. The strategy for approaching news articles is provided below.
 * Plan the answers for questions that require longer responses (i.e. step-by-step, describe, explain, compare, and especially Part (c) discuss, to what extent, analyze)
 * Avoid using the words //something//, //thing//, //stuff// Wherever these words are used, they should have been replaced by IT terminology.
 * Avoid using symbols such as //&//, //+// or //-->// Wherever these words appear there should have been English text

 * All scenarios for examination questions are based on real situations and relate closely to the ITGS Triangle. When reading a question, it is important to recognize: **
 * the specific scenario(s)
 * stakeholders and how they are involved
 * the IT terminology and IT systems used in the scenario
 * social and ethical considerations indicated in the stem of the question.
