I just subscribed to the podcasts. I've got a lot of listening to do - 33 back episodes - but it covers some excellent topics. Does anyone know if it is illegal to listen through headphones when driving?

<br>Subject: Re: [vet-mm] Hours spent on Cert III Assessments<br><br>Hi Michelle,<br>Welcome to the wonderous mysteries of VET MM!!<br>As far as planning for the product, the VCAA documentation actually<br>says: "A plan outlining the design, method and materials/resources
<br>required for the Product must be submitted prior to the assessment<br>event. The writing up of the plan should be completed in class time<br>within approximately 1-2 hours..."<br>I don't believe that means they have to dream up an idea and document
<br>it<br>all in the space of a lesson or two. My students spend a couple of<br>weeks, investigating their target audience, looking for ideas and<br>inspiration, analysing other products, determining resources required<br>
and documenting the development of their ideas. They can work on this<br>at<br>home as well as in class. Having followed this part of the design<br>process, they are then able to formally document their plan -<br>storyboards, flowcharts, timelines etc within the time allowed.
