[Year 12 IT Apps] Teaching year 11 IT and IT applications

Thu Nov 15 10:17:10 EST 2012

Frankly, I find the notion of teaching yr11 and yr12 subjects in 1 class absurd and it trivialises the subjects.

Can only come from the bean counters.

I have a thought that I may need to 'flip' some of the things I am doing with some scaffolding to time-shift talks to both groups. Easy to say, tricker to do.

Have had a lot of luck this year breaking students into small groups and giving each team a googledoc to work with for chapter summaries and homework questions.

Likewise – numbers are way down next year. What strategies will you use? I’ve taught differentiated classes, but never two different courses in the same room.

Thanks everybody for sharing this feedback. I have heard that I may need to run a composite 11 and 12 IT class next year. Going to be interesting.

It's hard work. I have done it a few times as numbers are always such that it would not run as a stand alone subjects. I get a one period time allowance (72 min).

I've got everything online so kids can work at their own pace with me just doing my bit as and when needed.

Vera, email me offline if you want more info.

We are not running at all next year as school has introduced a new subject (VET creative media) that has taken numbers away from IT, but VET attracts lots of finding.

I mourn the loss of thousands of precious lives, but I will not rejoice in the death of one, not even an enemy. Returning hate for hate multiplies hate, adding deeper darkness to a night already devoid of stars. Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.

Hi everyone

I was wondering has anyone had to teach 11 iT and 12 Applications in the same class and if so please give me some ideas.

Thankyou Vera
