[Year 12 IPM] Names for new IT units 1 and 2

[tony at star.melb.catholic.edu.au]

Paula,

Are we able to steer clear of... ahem... "boring" unit names like Option A?

If these two were the only options, my choice would be Option B in a heartbeat
with the possible inclusion of a "C" in both units.
ie, Unit 1: Contemporary ICT and, Unit 2: ICT in action.

As for any other possible names, my preference would be something that may 
somehow resembles educational opportunities that present themselves beyond 
secondary into tertiary level studies eg. Business IT / ICT

Even descriptions such as "Interactive ICT" or "Business ICT" is more 
appealing to students.
"Data" and "Information Management" just makes it that "little" bit more 
difficult to sell IMHO.

My 2c worth.

Have a great weekend.

Cheers,
TJ
