[Yr11 Information Technology] Unit 1 Outcome 1

[George Ciotti]

I have asked students to select one of their favourite magazines.

I got this idea from one of the IT presenters at last years Feb in-service.
It works, you just have to be careful and reiterate that they should not
copy the online version if indeed one exists. But in any case, using
elements of any online information product is inevitable. They still have to
justify the usage. This is the important thing.

Cheers
