[Yr11 Information Technology] Life without Internet

[Kevork Krozian]

Hi Frank,

Many thanks for your generosity in sharing this with others.
Unfortunately my Yr 11 IT class ( 1990 - 2007 unbroken run )  did not survive into 2008 and is now dormant. Who knows, if it is resurrected all of these resources will help a great deal.

Best wishes

Kevork

For what it's worth, here's my outcome.
And - Access or FP? No contest! Filemaker - but access unfortunately has more...access.

Also - something worth considering for database activities. The Census at school project from the ABS has a number of activities you can do at school if you join in. Good resource.

Hello all.



Does anyone have any useful class handouts as well as their actual SAC for outcome 2 to send to the  list.

I chose to do outcome 3 before 2 because I am not confident in teaching this content at all.



What database program would you recommend? Access or Filemaker Pro?



Thanks,



Jenna

I know you are all busy but thought you'd appreciate this. Safe to play in class to secondary school students.

Enjoy :-)

In this South Park episode, most of the nation was without internet. What does such an internet-connected society do when faced with such a technological dilemma? Face the giant Linksys router that controls all traffic in the country.
