[Year 12 IT Apps] Year 9 & 10 Electives

[Ripoli, Carlo C]

Hi Anthony
We offer a year 9 IT and a year 10 IT elective, which run for a semester. In each of the electives we cover a range of topics. At year 9 we cover Spreadsheets, Robotics using Lego robotics and Game Maker. At year 10 we cover Databases, Computer Hardware Components and Programing. We did not want to offer more than the one IT class at each level as we would most likely not get enough students for each class to run. We currently have one class of 25 students for each of year 9 and year 10 IT for each semester.

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
