[Yr11 Information Technology] Fw: Yr 11 course outline

[Frampton, Jenny S]

Hi Andrew,
 
I have had used a practical component using old computers and it worked real=
ly well (as long as you don't want to use them again!).
 
For the network part of the course, I had the students bring in their own co=
mputers and we used them to set up a network. They played a network computer=
 game over this network to make sure it worked. It was a fun way to introduc=
e the components that make up a network. It depends a lot on the kids you ha=
ve in your class, I had several who were right into computers and networking=
 and they pretty much ran the session.
 
Regards

Hi all
 
I am teaching yr 11 IT for the first time next year (with 25 kids!)
 
anyway i have just started having a look at it and thinking about the curric=
ulum
 
i have produced a course outline (both for myself and for the students) - se=
e attached
 
I would appreciate any feedback on it from others who have or are teaching u=
nits 1 and 2 
 
in particular unit 2 outcome 2 (networks) seems fairly dry -- any1 got any i=
deas to jazz it up?
 
I was thinking of some practical component using old PCs or something - anyb=
ody tried something like that?

xpress themselves and be creative
