[Year 12 IPM] (no subject)

Short Answer:  Don't Do It

 

I have been given the same problem and will be attempting to migrate the
year 11s to the year 12 course.  The year 11 students will then achieve
a credit towards their year 12.  If they fail they can repeat the
subject again the following year without penalty.  

 

Potts is still being printed: won't be available I don't believe till
next year.  I have an uncorrected proof of the text from our school
supplier.  You should be able to obtain such a copy from your school
supplier.  

 

There have been a number of contributions to this list recently
regarding the new course design.  It is basically as follows:  

Unit 3, Out 1:  Databases, 

Unit 3, Out 2:  Web Site, 

Unit 4, Out 1:  Spreadsheet, 

Unit 4, Out 2:  Disaster Recover, Backup and Data Management

 

Software tools include those that operate on any platform, eg: Mac, Win,
Linux/Unix.  So it all depends on what your school operates.

Hope this helps,

Hello All,

 

This is my first message so I hope it works.

 

I have taught maths and science for years but next year I have been
given a combined yr 11 and yr 12 group for IT.

 

I have never taught IT at yr 9 to yr12 before and I have never seen it
being taught.

 

I have looked at the course design but it is too vague to be of much
use.

 

The text book on the student's booklist is  Potts but I have not been
able to get a copy.

 

I have found some of the posts on this list informative but I need some
advice.

 

What exactly am I supposed to teach - what are the students supposed to
be able to do at the end of the course.

 

What software do they use - words like "software tools" do not seem
enough for my level of ignorance.

 

Help!

 

Dan
