VCE Information Technology Additional Resources - 2007
This is a list of additional resources for VCE teachers to use with the VCE Information Technology Study Design, Accredited 2007–2010 and the Implementing VCE IT: 2007−2010 CD-ROM, published by the Victorian Curriculum and Assessment Authority.
Courses must be developed within the framework of the study design: the areas of study, outcome statements, and key knowledge and skills.
Some of the print resources listed in this section may be out of print. They have been included because they may still be available from libraries, bookshops and private collections. The general texts listed provide a comprehensive coverage of the study and are complemented by the specialised references.
At the time of publication the URLs (website addresses) cited were checked for accuracy and appropriateness of content. However, due to the transient nature of material placed on the web, their continuing accuracy cannot be verified. Teachers are strongly advised to prepare their own indexes of sites that are suitable and applicable to the courses they teach, and to check these addresses prior to allowing student access.
