<br>
we've never run SD here always ITA.<br>
Next year there is NO ITA as we didn't run Units 1 and 2 this year.<br>
First time ever, that I can remember, there will be no Year 12 IT of any kind.<br>
<br>
We will be running Units 1 and 2 next year. Roughly 16 students.<br>

Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] No ITA at McKinnon in 2012<br>
<br>
Hi all.<br>
<br>
As I feared, ITA didn't get enough enrolments to run in 2012 - for the first<br>
time in about 15 years.<br>
<br>
Strangely enough, Software Development *is* running - and before this year<br>
it hasn't run for 3 years.<br>
<br>
Actually, I'm kind of relieved since SD is more interesting anyway, and ITA<br>
seems old, dry and tired. Perhaps it's just because I've been teaching it<br>
since forever, or it may be that the new study design is partly to blame -<br>
and yes! normal forms, I AM looking at you. And I'd also put some blame on<br>
the freakishly large and long U4O1 - my kids were exhausted at the end of<br>
that.<br>
<br>
After a hiatus this year, Units 1&2 return to McKinnon in 2012, and since I<br>
have barely looked at them it will be another fun year compiling resources<br>
for those units.<br>
If the ITA embargo continues and SD continues to run, I may craft units 1&2<br>
to be heavy on programming to better funnel kids into SD in the following<br>
year.<br>
<br>
Do you guys know what units will run at your places next year?<br>
