10.0pt;font-family:Arial;color:navy'>Yes I have a <b><span style='font-weight:
bold'>course in Year 10 </span></b>where I am incorporating some Cert II IT units
in the curriculum. It has been developed as a pathway program for my VET IT
course but certainly gives the students a opportunity to understand PCs and networking
from a hands on perspective prior to the VCE IT course as some key knowledge is
presented particularly, protocols, topology, hardware and software components
of a network. They even optimise an NOS (NT4 and Server 2003) and standard OS
(Ubuntu – Linux and Windows XP) to a basic level. This course works well
at my school where the students are engaged by a more hands on approach to
learning. All my work is on-line to a private Wiki to students but I have a
brief outline available if required. The course is designed for students to
build a PC, network and optimise the PC to communicate with others, and provide
them with basic network theory and OH&S issues relating to PC Use.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>
