[Yr7-10it] RE: changing the advertised curriculum

[Digby, Helen H]

Hi Russell

 

I would just do it - and then wait and see who complains.  I argue that
we have to be flexible in Technology classes do suit our clientele and
the changes that occur around us.  You are still covering all the other
stuff you did advertise and, having just completed three weeks of
gamemaker that I didn't notify in our curriculum either, I can justify
it in terms of interest (I will go into convulsions if I type that word
engagem....t) and logical thinking. It forces the kids to follow a more
logical thought and design process . . .  I am hoping this will flow on
to our next area of investigation - web design!

 

You could always build in some other stuff - we tested each others games
and they had to create an evaluation sheet in word that the testers
could fill in!

 

Hope that helps

 

Cheers

Helen
