[Yr11 Information Technology] Unit 2 Outcome 1: Programming

[Mark Kelly]

I see nothing in the study design to suggest a single assessable task 
like a SAC is required.  I read it as "a series of exercises/tasks of 
increasing skill".

I plan to make/find/steal some VB exercises that take them from knowing 
nothing through the basic skills required - a bit like Greg Bowden's 
Excel / Access / Filemaker guided activities.  They have teaching, 
exercises where kids are held by the hand, and finishing each chapter 
with a semi-challenging activity to test their understanding.

Hopefully they'll get to being able to create a simple application that 
uses text boxes, maybe listboxes, some arithmetic, buttons, checkboxes. 
  Would be good if they get to using FOR..NEXT and true arrays.  We'll 
see how we go.

Would be good a warm up for kids progressing to SD in '08.
