[Year 12 IPM] to "McElholum, Daniel E" - from Keith

[Keith Richardson]

Hi Dan - this list is certainly the right place for you to come.
You will need to be more specific, because at unit 3/4 level, vce-IT is
in two possible subjects - ITApplications (was IPM) or Software
Development (was IS in the old days).
Potts is a great textbook for ITA - contact the publishers - if it is on
your booklist for the kids to buy, you are entitled to one free copy.
You are welcome to guest-visit the Moodle sites
(http://moodle.yavneh.vic.edu.au) I have set up for my kids in ITA (key
ita-lyc), Yr 10IT (key 10it-lyc), Yr 9 Video Production (key lyc-9vp),
and Yr 8 Multi-Media (key 8mm-lyc).
There are many others on this list who will happliy help you too.
Regards, Keith
