Stage 4
Year 8 ICT Elective
The Elective ICT course follows the interests of the enrolled students and is very practical and hands on in nature. The basics of Photoshop and Flash are taught and then student choice drives what will be learnt. Students may learn to program in Scratch, develop a game using GameMaker, create a website using Dreamweaver or create a short film with stop motion animation.
Due to the practical nature of the subject and often the need for specialist software, homework is rarely given and generally takes the form of planning/designing for their practical work.
