[Yr11 Information Technology] Outcome One?

I have broken it into two distinct parts. Part A is the programming
folio, whilst Part B is the report. Then, the marks are put together to
get an overall mark for the Outcome. The only real link is that the
career/pathway must involve programming as part of the job. But, look at
the Study Design examples and you will see that there is a broad range.

Hi,
Still looking for answer to my original question....

Is it necessary to combine the 'pathways' component with the
'programming' component OR can I do separate sac's....
My idea was to get each student to research the skills, qualifications,
etc necessary for an individual IT job and present their findings to the
class.

Thanks too for all the concurring emails re: unit one - I was so
relieved...  especially with 7 students who have never used a computer
before.....

Hi all, 

I just started teaching the new IT course this term and found the exact
same problem as everyone here. The previous teacher had spent term 1 on
Outcome 1 so I had to rush to finish the other 2 outcomes. I too found
it hard to teach proper Database skills and complete an outcome in such
a short time. Oh well maybe the course will be changed by the time I'm
'officially' back from maternity leave...

I just thought I was incompetent! I'm (not really) glad others had
problems finishing Unit one, makes me feel much better.

Hi,
I also concur that the Year 11 course has too much in it. I to spent so
much time trying to do a good job on the first two outcomes that it left
precious little time for the third outcome. I definitely think some
rejigging is necessary.

Hi All.

I agree with everyone regarding the lack of time. I have a group of year
10 boys doing Units 1 and 2. To make things worse, some of them don't
want to be there. And, to add to that, I had no computer facilities
until the end of March (our computer lab was gutted, rebuilt and
rewired, with the computers stored, and it took several weeks after
"completion" before I could get reasonable functionality back into the
system), which means I have had to fit three Outcomes into Term 2 - I
failed! I'm still struggling to get some sort of semblance of order into
the marks with many incomplete submissions of work. 

Fortunately, there is a bit more leeway than for Units 3 and 4 as far as
marking and reporting go. Even so, let's hope that in light of what
everyone has said here, VCAA will revise the requirements a bit.

Jeff Lynn,
Yeshivah College.
