[Yr11 Information Technology] U2O1 resources

Wed Jun 20 11:38:36 EST 2012

Hi all,

Here are some useful resources for U2O1:

See the video tutorials on Infographics @ Lynda.com. In particular, Area Bubbles and Visualizing Relationships. You can download the exercise files if you sign up for a month and watch the tutorials (cost approx. $40). Then just teach it yourself.
