<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Thanks for the contact, Kent,
Peter, it’s good to be in touch with teachers who know more about this
course. No one here at Heywood knows exactly what stream we are
doing. I inherited the class from another teacher, who left no concrete
information. There is a fair bit of networking involved, so I think that
is their stream. Could you please enlighten me? <o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>I have downloaded the NTIS
documents which define the criteria for each module. So far, I am
assessing using several methods, including observation, checking the required
hours are done, assessing submitted work based on the NTIS assessment criteria.
I have also given them some online theory tests (using Moodle). <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>We have a room with, potentially,
a stand-alone network. There is a server which the students have configured,
a switch, and a desktop PC for each student. I had the CAT cable ordered
along with the ducting, but these were delivered to the builders doing the government
funded building (!). They sent it to their warehouse and cannot trace it (!!).
When this is finally resolved, we can finish building the network and they will
do the software and peripherals administration, etc. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>These students respond best to more
practical activities, so getting in 60 hours of designing organisational documents
using computing packages is quite a challenge. They enjoyed dismantling
the dozens of ancient PCs which cluttered the store rooms, and then used the
hardware knowledge they acquired to alter their own PCs – add more
memory, add another disk drive, etc. They also get to install any new
software which the school gets. <o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'><o:p> </o:p></span></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>One of the girls told me today
that her Nanna bought a computer on the weekend, and she put it all together
for her and installed the software. She was very proud because her
Nanna was so impressed. This is a great course to teach, but I would
appreciate any tips and help from more experienced VET IT teachers (I
previously taught VCE units 1-4).<o:p></o:p></span></p>
