[Yr11 Information Technology] Unit 2 O1

[Daniel Stanley]

I have developed a unit to learn the basics of PHP.  Not that far
removed from HTML which we visit in U1O1 and probably more friendly to
the girls as you can do some nice design sort of stuff.
PHP also strikes me as being a skill that can be used out there in the
real world and gets away from those geeky programming languages.

	I have the same problem with my students. The solution we have
used is to give students a set of self paced exercises, attached, and
they are given a period of time to complete as many of them as possible.
We do no formal assessment of the tasks for grading but use the fact
that they have gained skills and shown improvement, even if it is only
basic, for satisfying the programming requirement.

	Hi List, I was wondering if anyone has any ideas for U2 O1??? 

	 

	I have a very weak class of gilrs and all SACs I have found
focus on VB programming. My girls will all leave the class in droves if
I taught them VB! 

	 

	I was wanting to create a SAC using Flash and teaching them
basic Actionscript through gaming or movie clip animation to make it
more interesting. Does anyone have any ideas??
