Subject: [Yr11 Information Technology] U2O3 - lucky last

As my dears tackle the programming tasks for U2O1 (I did U2O2 first to 
give them more training time), I am thinking of U2O3 - the group-work 
programming or multimedia solution for a client.

I have this nagging feeling last felt many years ago... it's sort of a 
strange buzz that this could actually be fun, or useful.

Memories of the old English communication project, perhaps, where we 
actually got the kids doing something relevant, rewarding, challenging 
and beneficial.  The kids used to go reading to old folks, telling 
stories to kindergarten kids, organising events etc.

Has anyone else out there given pre-thought to the opportunities this 
outcome could present for getting something useful done within the 
school or community?

One idea leaps to mind - several primary schools in our cluster have 
virtually no website.  Our kids could go out and develop the sites for 
them.  Since the outcome could take a lot of real time (visits, 
re-visits etc), I'm thinking of starting it very soon and stretching it 
over several weeks.

Could be interesting!

Mark
