<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Hi Andrew!</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>We've all been down the same road. First time
teaching the subject. Not sure exactly what the study design means! Am I doing
the right thing? What help can I get? Where can I get it?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>That is where the ITApps list really helps. You can
ask for help and usually get it.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>I was teaching IT when the VCE started. We had CATs
- and now SACs. Those of us teaching at that time had to develop our own CATs
and SACs - especially in non-metropolitan schools, where I was teaching at that
time, as we had no local support. The whole Edulists did not exist and there
were no commercially available resources. I am now retired from full time
teaching.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=4 face=Arial>So what am I saying to you?</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Don't agonise too much about this SAC. You have two
examples already - so, unless you are not happy with either of them, go with one
of those. Modify of course to suit your students and the software you and they
are using.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>The SAC has to allow students to demonstrate the
required skills- see the VCAA Assessment Handbook for ITApps at </FONT><A

<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Then really all you have to do is rank the students
in order of their ability to satisfy the requirements for the SAC. The
moderation of the internal assessments via the exam marks takes care of
assessment differences between schools/teachers.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2 face=Arial>Good luck with SAC 2</FONT></DIV>

Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] U3O2 - Ok to code entirely in Notepad?<BR>>
<BR>> Hi,<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> This is probably a dumb
question, but if a pupil is proficient in html<BR>> and css, can they create
their prototype website in Notepad (or Vym, or<BR>> Notepad++ etc). I know
the task must be completed using appropriate<BR>> software that can create a
website, but does that include something as<BR>> simple as a text editor or
must they use Dreamweaver or another WYSIWYG<BR>> type of editor?<BR>>
<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Cheers,<BR>> <BR>> <BR>> <BR>> Jackson
