<div>Usually I find I am pretty well organised but this time round I had only a few days to cover the content of outcome 3 before setting the SAC. This was partly due to the introduction of an exam and for the reasons you listed above. </div>
<div>One way of overcomming this in the future is to podcast the topics and content so I can cover the skills in class needed to SAC the software. Despite the great whohar about the noble digital native they still know diddly-squat about Access, Frontpage, and only have a surface knowledge of Office. </div>

<div>Does anyone else find this.<br><br>OR<br><br>Am I just alone in this experience?<br> <br>Phil Brown<br>Wellington SC</div>
