Do you know where I could find some exercises that cover the functions required for the task for U4O1. I am struggling to find enough activities to cover all of the functions required for the SAC, and I am a bit of an excel rookie myself.<BR>
Your help would be appreciated.<BR>

According to my understanding, VCAA assumes that students are able to<BR>
utilise and understand the software functions identified in the<BR>
requirements list - however not all of these functions need to be<BR>
exemplified in the assessment task. For a student to receive an S he/she<BR>
must be able to demonstrate that they have satisfied the requirements<BR>
for each Area of Study as specified in the SDesign.<BR>
<BR>
My students complete exercises that cover all of the functions and<BR>
skills listed in the software requirements and then the task I set<BR>
contains several of these - the completion of both of these to a<BR>
satisfactory standard constitutes an S.<BR>

Hi listers,<BR>
I just had a look at the list Mark created to do with spreadsheeting.<BR>
I, personally, dont use (or see the need to use!) all of the above<BR>
functions on the list and hence not only need to teach them but also<BR>
learn them before I can teach them. Having just come back this year to<BR>
VCE IT, and looking at the theory to get through, I would be interested<BR>
to hear other's thoughts on the volume of work to teach at this level..<BR>
I feel that the amount of 'useable' prac to teach is over-rated and<BR>
mostly impractical in the majority of cases and that the volume of<BR>
theory combined with the SAC work makes for us really earning our<BR>
$$$$'s. Dont know about you guys out there but I really feel it!<BR>
I sometimes wish I could just teach one thing and it didnt change every<BR>
6 months - a bit like maths!<BR>
Also..trying to teach programming to year 11's who havent got a clue as<BR>
they think IT was the 'easy option' so chose it as a subject doesnt<BR>
help! It feels a bit like throwing peanuts to monkeys and then finding<BR>
out they dont like peanuts!<BR>
Lets see now...<BR>
this year I have..<BR>
taught myself VB6, JAVASCRIPT, HTML, GAMEMAKER,CHANGED JOBS, MOVED<BR>
HOUSE TO THE COUNTRY, TRIED TO LEARN ADVANCED EXCEL, DOING POSTGRAD<BR>
ONLINE STUDIES, DOING THE TA04 COURSE,,<BR>
JEEEZ, I need a holiday!<BR>

Your list seems eminently sensible. It's probably also worth bearing<BR>
in mind the VCAA software functions list for spreadsheets:<BR>
<BR>
* lookup tables<BR>
* conditional formatting<BR>
* conditional statements<BR>
* cell protection<BR>
* graphs<BR>
* insert notes/comments<BR>
* macros<BR>
* relative and absolute cell references<BR>
* naming a range<BR>
* electronic validation<BR>
* sheet referencing<BR>
* formatting/layout.<BR>
<BR>
I take "layout" to be the link to stuff about formats and<BR>
conventions, interfaces, yadda yadda yadda....<BR>
