[Year 12 IT Apps] Data visualisation for study results

[Bill Oldham]

Hello everyone,

 

Doing a spot check of different schools surprised me to see the number of
schools that do not offer ITA.

 

Either that or the subject scores did not make it above 40.

 

But as Roland points out, it is a good example of data visualisation.

 

All the best for the New Year and may your new classes all be enjoyable
ones.

 

Cheers, Bill Oldham (sessional teacher at RMIT)

Thank you Kevork and Paula,

 

It was exciting to get a student up to 40. Like many, an ESL student (year
11 too!).  Another particular student often rode his skateboard late into my
class. After a friendly high-five and secret handshake as he glided past, it
was easy to chat to him on a regular basis about stuff like reading notes,
listening to my questions, making summaries and doing past examinations
(again, again and again!), about just sticking it out as he was going to
have so much fun in 2012 at Uni. Crikey, this really made my day when I
spotted that his score was over 35. :-)

 

Regards Roland

Dear colleagues

 

Here's another good example of data visualisation at work regarding study
scores over 40.

And congratulations to all the hard working students (and their teachers)
who scored 40 and above in IT apps and Software development.
