Hi all, Submissions regarding the Draft Senior Science Australian Curriculum close **tomorrow**. This article in today's age made me think... http://www.theage.com.au/national/education/science-subject-comes-under-fire... Hang on - Where's computer science? Oh that's right it doesn't exist in the brave new world of the new Australian Curriculum. It's a general capability (ICT) or a "Technology" along with design, woodworking, cooking and agriculture - in a strand called "Digital Technologies" I've been to a couple of Google sponsored workshops advocating for the promotion and redevelopment of computer science in high school. #CS4HS So I have some thoughts on this. Perhaps you do too? You have less than 24 hours to make a submission with your thoughts. The draft curriculum is here: http://www.acara.edu.au/verve/_resources/Info+Sheet+-+Draft+Senior +Secondary+Science+FINAL.pdf (and hopefully attached) Email submissions to Science@acara.edu.au Make sure to use this cover sheet http://consultation.australiancurriculum.edu.au/Static/docs/Senior% 20Secondary/Senior%20Secondary%20feedback%20cover%20sheet.docx docx ? Oh no. Ok. I will attempt to attach it converted to odt.
