Information Technology - Course Introduction
Hi, and welcome to Information Technology (IT).
This is a BTEC course assessed mainly by coursework throughout and only 1 exam at the end of your second year.
We look at how ICT is used in the real world and this is a very modern and up to date course.
The first thing you will study is Social Media (bet you know something about that already).
You will improve your software skills by learning spreadsheets, databases, graphics, animation, video and sound editing to name but a few.
We can take computers to pieces and put them back together again and maybe even set up some games consoles on the big screen.
You will discuss new technology and ICT stories that are currently in the news.
Most lessons are practical, on the computers and it doesn't matter if you have any previous experience of IT at school.
IT goes well with ANY other subjects and is a useful life skill to have.
