[Yr11 Information Technology] End of year reflection

[Ciotti, George W]

Hi,

I found the Visualisation work requirement very satisfying. The students were enthused by it and produced some exciting examples. I tended to encourage the infographics side of this area.

This area is booming and there is no shortage of resources available.
Here is on link, albeit US centric that has some great examples of the genre:

And here is a list that I have accumulated for my year 11's:

Subject: [Yr11 Information Technology] End of year reflection

Hi all.  Now that things are winding down after the first year of the new study design, I was wondering if people have feelings, conclusions or tips about the unit 1 and 2 course.

Would you do anything differently next time? What worked well?

I'll be tackling it for the first time next year, and I'd be interested to see how people travelled with the new material in the course, particularly data visualisation.

regards
Mark
