[Yr11 Information Technology] U2O3

[Litsa Tzelepis]

Good morning,
I would also have to agree with you Mark, that the unit 2 students are very
much enjoying their "real life" scenario. We're working with a new local
internet cafe and dance store and my girls are absolutely absorbed by it.
Especially because one of the websites created, per store, will be actually
used by the businesses.

Although group work sometimes lends itself to an imbalance of contribution
by some students, this one is working very well.

Litsa :-)
