Hi Bianca,

Thank you for agreeing to organise a guest speaker to come here on Tues 10/5.  The yr 12 class runs from 10.30 - 11.45, but I suggest that the speaker arrives around 10.15  While the students are in year 12, not much should be assumed about their background knowledge.

The areas that need to be covered are from the ITA (2011) study design p 30 and 32, the key knowledge points as follows:

*	non-technical constraints on website solutions, including privacy, copyright and human rights requirements and social online protocols

*	reasons why organisations acquire data via websites, including 24-hour customer access, improved efficiencies through direct data entry by customers, improvements in effectiveness and access to global market economies

*	
	reasons why individuals and organisations supply data via websites, including purchasing of goods and services, voting, social networking and exchanging information

*	
	techniques used by organisations to acquire data on websites and reasons for their choice

*	
	techniques used by organisations to protect the rights of individuals and organisations supplying data, including security protocols and stating policies regarding privacy, shipping and returns

In general, website data aquisition, voting, social networking, information exchange and commercial uses.

We are doing databases at the same time as this theory - MS Access.

Thanks again for your help, let me know about particular needs of the presenters (we will be in a classroom)

Hello,

Swinburne's Faculty of Information and Communication Technologies are organising on and off campus Enrichment Programs again. The programs are specifically designed to enrich your students' knowledge of the curriculum. 

On campus

The faculty has developed programs focusing on IT Applications, Software Development, Physics, Business Information Systems, High Achievers, Astro Tours and Exam Preparation Sessions. The on-campus programs will be running mainly in Term 3 and are delivered at Swinburne's Hawthorn campus. 

In 2011 we will also be running the ICT School Holiday Program as well as introducing new initiatives such as a 'Cool Grads' seminar, ICT Virtual Entrepreneurship Program and VCE Extension Studies <http://www.future.swinburne.edu.au/information/extensionstudies/> . 

At your school 

If you prefer we can come to your school to deliver presentations to year levels 7 to 12 about ICT courses and careers or interactive workshops from a range of topics such as Hacking, Cracking and Viruses, Web 2.0 or IT in Organisations. All programs are free of charge. 

Resources

The ICT Faculty have also developed a range of resources to support you and your students with easy to access information. We will also be working with schools and teachers to identify the most-needed areas of professional development and we welcome your suggestions. 

Where, what, when, how?
