The results from national and local exams in the subject “Information technology” in Norwegian Upper Secondary schools are now in. I am happy to say that my students scored well in their exams, with an average of 4.4 out of 6 for all students who had to either sit through the national written exam o...

Unfortunately there is not much we as a LiveC...

Following a discussion in the use-list, Richard Gaskin challenged me to share my thoughts in this forum.
