[Yr11 Information Technology] RE: New Programming Resource (SiMERR)

[Adrian Janson]

Hi everyone,

 

I know that many of you are looking for resources to use to address the Unit
2 Programming Folio.  VITTA and ICTEV have been working for some time and
putting together a resource to support you in the classroom.  

 

The SiMERR project is a national project that seeks to explore ways in which
professional development materials can be distributed to rural and regional
areas.  Our focus for this project has been on the VCE IT Unit 2 programming
folio - as we knew that this would be something which teachers in Victoria
would be particularly focused on.

 

The web site is below:

 

http://simerr.vitta.org.au/index.html

 

On the site, you will find six VB.Net Express Edition tutorials and their
solutions - that have been created to be undertaken by students in order
(although the order can be changed, if you wish).  They gradually introduce
students to particular concepts in a way that will hopefully be very
accessible and interesting.  In addition to the tutorials, I am in the
process of creating multimedia presentations that work through each of the
programs step by step.  These presentations are large in size, but can be
downloaded and placed on your school network for your students to access.

 

Please feel free to make use of this material freely - the only request that
we have is that once you have used / examined the materials, you fill out a
brief survey (the link is on the web-site) that will give us some feedback
on how useful you have found the resource and any suggestions you might have
for additional resources such as this.

 

In addition to the survey, if you would like to email me to let me know what
you think of the materials - that would be great!

 

All the best
