year I have been fortunate enough to be on a Teacher Professional Leave program
with three other staff members looking at reworking our year 9 program. We get
one day off a week. As ICT coordinator I am interested in how schools
incorporate ICT into their Year 9 program. For ICT we currently have a
standalone program for each year 9 class which runs for one semester of 2
periods a week. The software covered is PowerPoint and Access with some
Dreamweaver/Flash if we get through all the work.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
