[Year 12 IT Apps] Year 9 & 10 Electives

Fri Jul 11 09:30:11 EST 2014

Hello Anthony,

Santa is an all-girls school and we offer semester electives at Year 9 and 10.

At Year 9 they have the choice of two electives-
Fun and Games - Scratch and Game Maker
Professional Web Design - Flash and Dreamweaver
(some students do both electives)

At Year 10 -
App Inventor
Software Tutorial - students learn Excel and Access then create a tutorial (using software of their own choice) explaining how to use a component of Excel or Access.

Software Tutorial is something new I will introduce next year. Previously I did Game Maker and Software Tutorial based a software of their own choice but next year I will make it based on Excel and Access as that is what they will be using in VCE IT and they haven't had previous exposure to it.

I've been pushing to do Robotics but there is the cost involved and trying to justify how it leads into VCE IT.

Are they popular? There is about 20 students who do Professional Web Design each semester and there is 1 semester of Fun and Games of about 20 students. Year 10 has dropped off a bit as there is only 1 semester of about 15 students.

Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] Year 9 & 10 Electives

We are planning to start offering IT electives at both Year 9 & 10 at our school starting in 2015

At present we don't have any IT offerings at these Year levels - although Year 10 students may select Unit 1 & 2 IT

I'm looking at offering 2 electives at each year level - and each elective would run for a semester

I'm hoping people might forward to me the types of electives that they run at their school and in particular the types of electives that have proven popular

Also I'm keen to offer at least one elective that would be appeal to female students to try and increase the ratio of boys to girls studying IT

Any help would be appreciated

Anthony
