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

[Leanne Wright]

Here at Epping Secondary College we have ICT as a core subject in Years 7, 9 and 10 for one semester in each of those years. The 7s and 9s have 4 x 72 minute periods per fortnight and the 10s have 3.  In year 8 we run an Integrated Systems & Technology unit for a semester where students use computers to produce working drawings of items to be constructed in the workshop. We also run a programming elective at Year 10 for 4 periods per fortnight which focuses on game development. Judging by other responses we seem to have been extremely lucky to have retained so much time for ICT.

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
