IT and Me Works A Follow up Course of Study to IT and Me
|
|
IT and ME Works is built on the same skills, standards and learner outcomes as the first course with a focus on Business Technologies, Interactive Media, PC Hardware & Networking, Programming & Software Development. However, the educators, who designed this course, wrote six weeks of lesson plans for each career specialty totaling 24 weeks so that the teacher, depending upon his/her school's program of studies, could teach each specialty as a "stand-alone" course or in conjunction with the others.
NOTE: Lesson plans for each strand have been packed as a .zip file and are available for download below. All lesson plans have been saved as Adobe PDF files for user compatibility.
