Your techies should not be dictating what is on the curriculum. Have a chat to your principal, I'd suggest.<br><br>Anyway, any software the kids could write would be a minuscule threat compared to what they could download and bring in via email or USB.<br>

<div>Good morning all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I am having a few problems with our IT department in not allowing my year 11 students access to VB. They are concerned that with enabling them </div>
<div>to create an executable file they feel the students my corrupt the network . I have been showing/ teaching them to wirte code with Game maker 8 and discussing VB.</div>
<div> I am having problems though in looking at the Study guide and creating a SAC for them. </div>
<div>The students have been keeping an electronic blog and I thought that I could get them to investigate careers advertised in the area of programming. I a had two people from IBM come and </div>
<div>talk to them about their work at IBM. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>This is the first time I have taught this subject. Any assistance would be welcomed. </div>
