[Year 12 IPM] (no subject)

[McElholum, Daniel E]

Hello All,
 
This is my first message so I hope it works.
 
I have taught maths and science for years but next year I have been given a=
 combined yr 11 and yr 12 group for IT.
 
I have never taught IT at yr 9 to yr12 before and I have never seen it being=
 taught.
 
I have looked at the course design but it is too vague to be of much use.
 
The text book on the student's booklist is  Potts but I have not been able t=
o get a copy.
 
I have found some of the posts on this list informative but I need some advi=
ce.
 
What exactly am I supposed to teach - what are the students supposed to be a=
ble to do at the end of the course.
 
What software do they use - words like "software tools" do not seem enough f=
or my level of ignorance.
 
Help!
 
Dan
