[Year 12 IPM] Yr 11 course outline

[Charmaine Taylor]

This year I piloted Units 1 and 2 of the new study design. It's much 
more fun to teach than previous IT study designs and student learning 
was much deeper. I presented a session at the VITTA conference in which 
I shared what I learned from teaching these units. A copy of my slide 
show is attached (900kb) for those interested. The links on the slides 
are to examples of student work and learning activities. I can't upload 
these because of the number and file size but am happy to talk to people 
about the course by phone or email. Two of the slides display concept 
maps of the courses. I found it much easier to map the units in this new 
study design as there is only one repetition of topic.

Merry Christmas to all,
Charmaine Taylor
