[Year 12 IT Apps] ITA Proposed U3O2 - a bias towards databases?

[Mark Scott]

A very interesting comment from Mark here.

Can anybody else back this up? Robert?

There is certainly much more that we could teach our students about spreadsheets.

Most will use a database in the workplaces. Not sure how many will have to create one.

A spreadsheet though?

Snipped...
P.S. I was just talking about the proposed IT design to our VCE accounting teacher and she said it was mad to have so much databasing. 
Spreadsheet skill, she said, is what the finance world is really keen on.
