[Informatics] Textbook Screenshots Chp1

[Wu, Rachel W]

Hi all,
I’ve made screenshots of chapter 1 if you wanted the electronic copy.
Some of my kids are saying the demo link isn’t working.
The resolution isn’t great but generally still legible.

File is quite large so it’s shared on Google Drive:

Subject: Re: [Informatics] OT- Macbooks vs PCs

I am going to make do with SQL and wean myself off MS Access next year.

During our year 12 headstart course (a keysborough transition course for year 11 students) I was quite impressed by how the kids took to it using the Khan Academy tutorials, crikey they learned it fast and better than my chugalug approach to teaching MS Access. OpenOffice Base is better now too but I reckon that SQL Lite could work just fine for what we need to do for 2016. I’ll keep you posted how I go.

Hi Sylvia,
Here at Manor Lake College we use Apple computers and devices across the college. It’s awesome as far as what students can do present their work in innovative ways.  As far as from an Informatics perspective, the lack of a decent (free) database management system like MS Access has been a real issue.  We survived using Libre Office Base but as an open source platform, it was prone to crashing at times and doing things a bit funny.  Now we’ve managed to get our IT guys to set up remote access to MS Access for Windows via the College server.  It works like a virtual machine but only gives them direct access to Access… but only at school on our iMacs in our computer labs. It was tricky for the IT guys to set up, but now it’s all set up, it works well. We’ll see how it goes in 2016.

Hope this is useful to you.

Cheers,
Michael

Hi all
Just wanted to know of any schools that have moved from PCs to Macbooks. How has your experience been and what are issues that you have had. Would love to have feedback of schools that have done this move and the reaction of staff as well!!!!

Thanks in advance for your thoughts

Sylvia
