[Yr11 Information Technology] VITTA VCE IT New Study Design Forum

[Kent Beveridge]

Hi Antonia and fellow listers..
as I am unable to attend the forum but would love to know some of the issues would it be possible to have a summary of the key points raised during the discussion session please?
 
My key concern is that of the doubling up of the database topic and, the apparent lack of succinct direction in exactly what is being asked of the SS/DB outcome in the wording of the task. Other than those two concerns, I would also like more clarity on the depth to which teaching of the Gantt and Pert charts and their associated calculations is required..this has always been a concern of mine since they were first introduced. (how deep 'mathematically' do we need to teach this topic?).  Another concern is the depth again, of teaching required on the topic of 'design tools' and 'visual thinking'.
 
If these points are discussed in the forum, then I'd be happy to have contributed to the discussion.
 
cheers..(how's that for a constructive contribution)
Kent.
