Hi all
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I am hoping there might be some people on here that could provide me with some ideas/resources/activities etc for Software Development Orientation/Transition? Year 12 Transition begins next week for us and even though I will not be the teacher
of this subject next year, I will be taking the orientation classes. I have never taught this subject before and don’t even know where to start. As it is a new study design, just wondering if anyone has thought about what they will be doing for orientation
time and might be so kind to share with me (and others). </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">I know the PSM overlap with IT Apps(Informatics) which is what I have taught in the past, so I know I can cover this with the students….but any other ideas would be greatly appreciated! </div>
<div class=""><br class="">
</div>
<div class="">Thanks in advance! :) </div>
