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-20120718-22alp.html
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:

+Secondary+Science+FINAL.pdf
(and hopefully attached)
Email submissions to Science@acara.edu.au
Make sure to use this cover sheet

20Secondary/Senior%20Secondary%20feedback%20cover%20sheet.docx
docx ? Oh no. Ok. I will attempt to attach it converted to odt.

cheers
Donna
