[Yr11 Information Technology] Year IT Units 1 & 2 Exams now available

Fri May 6 14:59:12 EST 2011

G'day all,

I guess we need to keep in perspective that from my experience peddling
behind the scenes that like many other subject associations, VITTA is made
of a group of dedicated teachers who sometimes volunteer their time to
assemble these resources or contribute for a small gratuity. It is getting
tougher each year to rally support in these projects and I can only imagine
that users that subscribe to this resource would get updates if any late
material is submitted or if there are gaps that clearly need to be filled.
Also tough with a new study design and the push to get it right first for
year 12.

Some things we cannot control. Crikey, just look at how long it took for the
ITA textbook to cross our desks and that wasn't any fault of the authors.  I
can only imagine that they would welcome any constructive feedback although
it is hard for the office staff to respond directly to these posts.

Regards Roland

Disclaimer: I am not speaking on behalf of VITTA, apologising for poor
quality work or holding back the  discussion. I am also member of the ICTEV,
will present at the ICTEV2011 and VITTA2011 conferences. I have yet to see
this resource Kit, has been ordered .. I guess it is at our other campus?
