Hi all.  Nelson is currently producing new texts for the new study design - Units 1-4, but - sadly - not for SD.

given the number of students it is really not worthwhile for authors to write for this subject any more

(said sadly as an ex-authour)

Nelson supports the text but paper based texts are very expensive to actually produce, ship , handle, retail, count, etc etc

Remember the new study design comes in for  2016

If you go with paper text there will be no second hand market for it....

If you have smaller numbers you might look at sourcing class set of second hand books?

If this is first time teaching subject, some sort of text is very reassuring for teacher....

You also really need other resources. The archives of this list have a lot of stuff - and resources !

Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] Text Books for Units 1- 4

Hi, I’ve been teaching ITA Units one and Two using the Text by Keane et.al<http://et.al>. published on Nelson.
Are there any other texts available, or is it the best?
I’ll be teaching ITA Units 3 and 4 for the first time next year and need to confirm our Text book – I’m assuming the Nelson publication will be the best option…. Any other suggestions?

Cheers,
Vic
