[Year 12 IT Apps] Year 9 & 10 Electives

[Christophersen, Paula P]

Hi Anthony

While I don't have any electives to offer you, programs that incorporate usability and human-focused topics, including human-computer interfaces have appeal to females. I also have a book, edited by Julianne Lynch, titled Gender and IT: ongoing challenges for computing and information technology education in Australian secondary schools (2007) that I'm happy to lend you.

Regards
Paula

Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] Year 9 & 10 Electives

We are planning to start offering IT electives at both Year 9 & 10 at our school starting in 2015

At present we don't have any IT offerings at these Year levels - although Year 10 students may select Unit 1 & 2 IT

I'm looking at offering 2 electives at each year level - and each elective would run for a semester

I'm hoping people might forward to me the types of electives that they run at their school and in particular the types of electives that have proven popular

Also I'm keen to offer at least one elective that would be appeal to female students to try and increase the ratio of boys to girls studying IT

Any help would be appreciated

Anthony
