WHAT: Learners will have 24/7 access to a structured wiki intranet website where they will find a variety of class resources such as class presentations, online quizzes, and online class-relevant vocabulary tools.  In addition to this, students will have access to school information such as school calendars, handbooks, and current newsletters.

WHY: The main idea is to provide 24/7 access to educational materials through a structured wiki intranet website, allowing students to find relevant materials to expand and reinforce their knowledge using an internal educational-friendly platform. The platform connects with other tech tools such as QR codes, Google Drives, Google Slides, Google Sheets, Online forms, PDF classroom material, and a Glossary of new English vocabulary words, and their proper pronunciation. All these tools will be located in one user-friendly place.
