[Year 12 IT Apps] Creating Websites

Thu Nov 27 11:17:36 EST 2014

So the nuts and bolts is about teaching how to manipulate data to create a web product (prototype site) that solves an information problem. With Web-powered applications such as the Google suite (ala Google Sites) there will be the same learning, similar functions albeit with a different toolbox. As usual we should avoid trying to compile list a set of skills around just one tool (differences between Access and Filemaker come to mind).

Of course there is a more detailed list of specific functions amongst my VCAA notes that we must consult first. Can somebody dig this up? I have got to get back to my year 9 reports before the sword above my head falls.
