I'm trialling the new study design this year and my Unit 1 students are
loving it. They come into class before the bell and even the kids who
in year 10 wouldn't do any work are fully engaged and producing
quality. It's beaut to be able to praise them instead of telling them
off for not working. All the students in the class (17) are keen to
improve the quality of their work. If just the first outcome has
produced this change of attitude in my students roll on the remaining
outcomes..<br>
The study design provides teachers with enormous scope to cater for
your students' interests, your passions, and yet meet industry
requirements and academic standards in the discipline of IT. Look for
the opportunities rather than seeking constraints.<br>

<pre wrap="">...2 observations to throw into this:
- today's Age pg 2: IT slump threatens Monash faculty
- the numbers we get in IP&M or IS are largely driven by their Year 11/10/9... experience of IT, plus the industry forces driving Monash's predicament. I think the study design has great scope to make Unit 1/2 relevant, interesting, challenging, fun...

Subject: Re: [Year 12 IPM] ITA ("IPM 2007") summary
What changes?
We may as well call the subject "Office administration" it makes more sense.
I would gladly take on the course if it had significant and interesting
changes.
Your encouraging rhetoric is nice Margaret but it doesn't change the
fact we have been dudded and our feedback was largely ignored.
We did have some very good and vigorous debate on the issue and many
good idead came out of which I have seen NONE of them put into this course.
