[Year 12 IT Apps] BIG DATA video

[Sylvia Pastore]

Hi all,

Just wanted to see if anyone had a IT Apps schedule that you are willing to
share. Im back teaching this year after 5 yrs and can't find any of my
resources. (Think I threw most of them out in the thought that I wouldn't
return to teaching.

Thanks for your help in advance
