<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Hi,</FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>I will be teaching yr 11 ict and yr 12 SD in 2008 (brand new to this) , and have found tonnes of work, ppts, and other fantastic stuff on the edulists and through VITTA conference as well. I think i maybe suffering from OVERLOAD anxitey at this stage. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>Can someone please guide me to the start? I want to plan a semester/ term outline and want some advice on the following:</FONT></DIV>

<OL>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>I need a rough timeline for each outcome so that I know I have x amount of weeks to teach and assess the outcome. We are using Fitzpatrick textbook so if someone has worked with this book, then their advice would be sooooo helpful!</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>The previous teacher did yr 11 out of sequence this year, he did outcome 2,1,3 for both the units. This way he combined the dreamweaver/flash bits together, is this a good look or should I be doing it in sequence.</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>There seems to be no notes on teaching the students the softwares, like Visual Studio and dreamweaver etc. Does anyone have a suggestion on how to go about gathering them, and again what amount of time should I be spending on this. </FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>How far ahead do you need to be, I keep freaking out thinking I have to do the entire year's course in these holidays (actually two years) and I am getting very muddled. How much should I know say in semester 1?</FONT></LI>
<LI><FONT face=Arial size=2>Our ICT person has gone to UK and this college and I are the sole people doing VCE for the first time so any advice would be handy. Although he has left lots of good resources we are missing actual ongoing guidance.</FONT></LI></OL>
<P><FONT face=Arial size=2>Thanx for listening to me lement</FONT></P>
