All good things must come to an end, and this term is almost over. For this reason we will do a brief end of term quiz today that covers the materials we have looked at over the past two and a half months. Take the opportunity today to start reviewing the materials. Some questions will be those covered in the previous quizzes, while some will be drawn from the information I have provided you via the class posts. If you would like to take a copy of the quizzes on your thumb drive, they are all available on the Secondary drive under 
Curriculum/Computing/WebDesign Quizzes

Personally, I prefer to watch tv shows and movies on the television. First, the internet is quite expensive here and there is no such thing as "unlimited internet" in Australia like there is in the states. Second, most internet services take foreeeeeverr to load the show you want to watch and a lot of times you have to pause it.
