[Year 12 IT Apps] Moodle etc

[Leanne Wright]

No doubt you will be astounded to learn that the panels which develop new study designs for VCE IT subjects do have members who are currently teaching the subjects in question in some cases for twenty years or more - fancy that. Leanne W

Just look at how big brother decided to include the VT component into an outcome and how IT teachers responded to that. 
Add to that, the fact that not all schools use Moodle to the extent that others do. My school for example only moodled for the one outcome with 15 students. So no, I dont think it would be a good outcome..a perfect example here of a school based analogy to the digital divide.

Some people might agree and some people might not, but please folks this time, it is just an opinion(anyone heard of free speech in a democracy?) and surely I can disagree with someone without getting stoned again.

My thought, it'd be nice as a fellow colleague(s) on this list suggested, if the BOS/VCAA etc actually asked those who teach the subject or used a forum such as we are party to, to ask us.
For what its worth, I agree that the $M60 should be given to develop a moodle based product as at least it would save all the PD the ultranet is bound to needlessly create. I for one, havent got a clue what this 'ultranet' even is. Never heard of it before comments on this list appeared.

Ah well, back to being a monkey again I guess! Throw me another cashew please..I'm sick of peanuts!

Hi

It does look like corporate IT doing the we know what's best for you. That's
not so unusual, perhaps how users can defend themselves from IT would be an
interesting VCE IT Learning outcome

tender!
