[Yr11 Information Technology] Computing Unit 1 Outcome 1

[Mark]

Hi Margaret.

Yes, this is the year 11 Computing list.

I think what strategy you choose for U1O1 will depend a lot on what your
students are like.
If they are independent and with strong skills, they would probably
appreciate being able to choose their own topics.
But since they are just starting VCE, some might be overwhelmed by the
challenge of choosing one and locating data.
(I can imagine even unit 3 Informatics kids being scared of choosing a
topic for their hypothesis.)
If you give the same topic to everyone, there is greater chance of them
"borrowing" work and resources from each other.

Perhaps you could give them the option of choosing a topic or using a topic
from a short list you provide?
See how many take each option and use that to decide what to do in 2017.

2.2c worth... (at current GST rates. This may soon change)

Cheers
Mark
