[Year 12 SofDev] ICT Electives in Years 8-10

[Morris, Nathan C]

Hi Russell.
 
Currently Sunbury Downs College offers ICT semester long electives in years:
                                                                           7 ( not an elective (90 minutes a week))
                                                                           9 (1 elective - Info Tech ) 
                                                                          10 ( 2 electives - Webdesign & Programming )
 
I agree this does have serious implications, in fact I just had 2 students ask to do Year 11 ICT after not having done the ICT electives in year 9 or 10....
 
Not sure if that helps.

Hi all,
         Currently at Box Hill High School
we have ICT as a one semester elective
in years 8 - 10.  This have serious
implications for our course continuity.
Theoretically we can have students
attempt Soft Dev without having ICT
experience since year 7 (not a common
occurrence).
 
Is this course structure about on par
or are we behind the 8 ball in ICT ?
 
TIA
 
Russell Quinn
