[Year 12 IPM] IT Applications

[Mark Kelly]

<Re-treading a recent email for another trip around the block>

Refer to the study design and look for the KEY KNOWLEDGE and KEY
SKILLS.  That is exactly what they are supposed to know and do.  You
can't dismiss the study design - it is the core of what you will be
doing in IT in 2007.

OK ... places to look.

First, the study design (again!)
Then the VCAA assessment guide.
Then the VCAA implementation CD.

(These are the only _official) sources of information)

- Then go to the textbook.
- Then the IT Lecture notes: http://vceit.com
- VITTA resource CD (when it comes out)
- This list
- QATS (http://warringalpublications.com.au/teacher_hsc_qats.jsp) -
disclaimer: I wrote the 2007 ITA QATS.)

That should be enough to keep you busy for a few days  :-)

And welcome to the thrill of VCE IT.
