Typically at units </i>

flexibility regarding course design than at Units 3 and 4. Similarly,
what is required at units 3 and 4 tends to set the 'tone' for some
aspects of units <span class="il">1</span> and 2. This is the situation with <span class="il">programming</span><span class="il">unit</span>
2, schools are free to use any of the languages in the approved list
(which will be published in the June Bulletin). If schools offer
Software development it is more likely that they will choose a <span class="il">language</span> from the approved list for use in <span class="il">Unit</span> 2 to prepare their students. However, if only IT apps is offered (or no units 3 and 4), they may want to use a <span class="il">language</span><br>
</i> languages. At that better suits the needs of the students, in particular scripting languages.

Teachers might like to contribute ideas to this list about what languages they use at <span class="il">unit</span> 2 and the progress they make with their students. Also, area of study <span class="il">1</span>, data analysis and visualisation in the 2010 study design allows the use of a <span class="il">programming</span> <span class="il">language</span> to create data visualisations - this might influence the type of <span class="il">language</span> used throughout the <span class="il">unit</span>.<br>

can still use either?) and it is a scripting language you could make use<br>
of it? I used to start my Multimedia class on Actionscript by making a<br>
"Who wants to be a Millionaire" quiz (A few years ago when Eddie was on<br>
TV and not the radio!) with buttons for the correct answers if you need<br>
any ideas.<br>

<br>
Hi All,<br>
I'm sorting out my year and I noticed Unit 2 outcome 2 invloves "using a<br>
programming or scripting language."<br>
Would Adobe Flash count as either of these, as it involves coding or am<br>
I left with Visual Basic?<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Peter<br>
