Have a look at www.cegsa.org
This is the start of an attempt to get materials together in a
collaborative way for the SA Senior Secondary IT curriculum.  I'm with
Shaun - text books is old technology that doesn't keep up with all that
is happening and is expensive.  I would dearly love to see initiatives
like www.cegsa.org get support
