Jenna, my understanding is that at Year 11 level, the software that is used
is not mandated. The issue is if they go on to do Software Development at
Year 12 then they will need to know a piece of software that is on the list
- most schools are using VB, PHP, Python, Java from my understanding.
It therefore really depends on whether you can / or want to give your
students a head start to Year 12 if they are going on or not, and I think
that decision is yours really.
The mandated software is for the Software Development and not for the other
VCE IT subjects.
Kind regards

Ok, thanks for that and stressing me even more!!
What does everyone else think I should do?
I have a couple students who have used Visual Basic before, last years 11 IT
teacher did an outcome on Visual Basic.
After going to the VCE IT PD I thought that Scratch was the way to go!
What should I do?
Thanks,
Jenna
I've never used Scratch before.

Hey there Jenna,
Before you launch into scratch, you better check if its one of the
'accepted' programs for VCE studies. From memory, there was quite a bit of
discussion as to the suitability of that program for the year 11 studies.
Many of us are using VBASIC or similar because of that concern...
...just a tip...
Kent.

Hi Kent,

practice ones before the actual ones?

I'm using VB6 - 'cos we've got it and I know it.
I made a graduated series of tasks from very basic to quite
sophisticated so kids could show their level of accomplishment.
Tasks are attached.
