[Year 12 IPM] Thomson / Nelson ITA Text 2007 (Potts)

[Bane, Janet A]

Hi Debra,
 
The Graham book is published by Jacaranda.  The year 11 book is called Information Technology - VCE Units 1 & 2 by Maragaret Uren, Anna Hrvatin, Judy McIllree and Dianne Ruffles.  The Year 12 book is called IT Applications by Claudia Graham, Kris Thatcher, Andrew Meyenn, Meredith Churchyard, David Patrao and Antonia Caridi.  
 
The book is supported by the jaconline website.  Both books will also have a CD rom for students.  I went to an inservice last month and it seems quite good however I haven't seen page proofs yet, other than the first chapter of the Year 11 book.  The page proofs are supposed to be coming out on CD soon and I assume will be sent out to schools.  
 
We have used this text for the last 2 study designs and found it to be good - very simple, easy to understand and set out into logical sections.  If you want to know more about it, contact the publisher, John Wiley & Sons.  Lara Artis is the Sales consultant for Victorian schools - email lartis at johnwiley.com.au or contact John Wiley on 9811 1333.
 
Hope this helps
Janet Bane

At the risk of being subversive, I find the Graham IPM book more suitable for our students. One chapter per outcome, straightforward and clear to follow, although I haven't seen any updates for next year. I assume they're coming.
Choose the book relevant to students' needs and in our less than highly academic demographic, it does the job (nothing against the other texts).

Hi All,
I have received page proofs of the Thomson / Nelson published ITA text for next year (edited by Colin Potts). Has anyone else looked at the page proofs? I'm not using the current Potts - I was wondering whether anyone had an opinion to share :) I'm getting a little nervous about book listing for the next few years without seeing any other texts.
Cheers,
