[Yr11 Information Technology] RE: Yr11 Information Technology

[Robert Ruzbacky]

I agree that Unit 1 outcomes are very hard to fit in! Students generally
need more time to cover databases well.

I taught the skills for the first outcome, then quickly went over the
third outcome theory, relying on the skills learnt in outcome one to
produce a website using Dreamweaver. I provided Dreamweaver tutorial notes
/ reference books for students to use. One of my students knew a little
flash as well to put into their website.

As for Unit 2 Outcome 1, thought of doing Actionscript in Flash and
getting students to produce work from a portfolio of exercises where they
build up the skills. This would count towards their mark and then might
give a quick open book test to see how much they learnt, plus they have to
do the ICT careers bit too. I am trying to keep the course "fun" by
introducing some 2D arcade games, do a jigsaw puzzle program and webpage
creation / effects - I think those teaching gamemaker is also a good idea.
