[Yr7-10it] Thanks for Yr 7-10 IT structures

[Clare, Ian J]

This year we ran an integrated program for our year 7. The aim was to
reduce the number of teachers year 7s have to cope with. Therefore
Science and Maths are taught by the same teacher similarly English and
SOSE. The ICT class was abolished (to be covered by other teachers eg
Maths and English) with the ICT teacher being brought in as an "expert"
when required. Evaluation - didn't work. Still waiting for invite to
year 7 and the students just reinforcing the bad it skills they brought
from primary school. Next year I will force my way into the classes.

Hi all

 

The discussion about 7-10 IT possibilities has been VERY interesting and
led in directions I never envisaged.

 

The school is thinking about changes (even for next year at Yr 7) so I
believe that the contributions have been useful and appreciated.

 

I think others on this list would have been made more aware of different
approaches as well.

 

This thanks is definitely NOT to 'close off' the 'debate'!

COLIN
