<div style="direction: ltr;font-family: Tahoma;color: #000000;font-size: 10pt;">Hi Mark,
<div><br>
</div>
<div>That's a really nice offer, and if it isn't too much trouble I'd love to take a peek at the CD you might have. It'd be a great help to have something digital that I can modify too. I don't want to put any pressure on you or anything, but if you've got
time to burn a CD and whack it in the post, it'd be very much appreciated.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>You could either post it to Camberwell High School C/o David Pitt - Prospect Hill Road, canterbury 3124
<i>or</i> I can give you a personal mail address.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Let me know what works for you!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Cheers,</div>
<div>David.<br>

<p>Hi David</p>
<p>I ran a session last year at the DATTA conference on approaches for unit 2. But also have plenty of resources you might find useful if you would like a copy I could send you a CD and then talk you through what has worked for me. Which you could then modify
to suit your needs and circumstances.</p>
<p>Please feel free to ring me at school on 57230500.</p>
<p>Regards</p>

<div>Greetings all,</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>I'm a new-ish teacher and new at my current school this year. I'm currently teaching mostly Materials technology 7-10, with a strong focus on wood. </div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Now, next year I'm about to begin teaching VCE Product Design and Technology - starting with a Year 11 group and taking them up to Year 12. I've not taught the study before, and there has not been a class at VCE level in the Technology subjects for a
while. There's little course material, and what there is is very out of date.</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>B<b>asically, I'd like to ask if anyone would mind offering advice or suggestions about the product re-design and team project tasks</b> - what you have the students focus on, tasks or topics that are good/engaging and so on! I have too many ideas, and
would like some ideas about tasks/topics that <i>work</i>. The students and myself have a focus on wood technology, so advice down that route much appreciated!</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>As an idea, the only course document that exists here about Unit 1 and 2 led the students through redesigning a board game....</div>
<div><br>
</div>
<div>Thanks in advance!</div>
