[Design and Technology] Digital folios

[Lisa Walsh]

I encouraged my Year 11 PD&T Unit 2 students to publish their group work to
a website with some measure of success. The pressure on team members to
publish on time was beneficial and a certain amount of pride and ownership
was taken. Most chose to hand me their hand drawings though. I feel that
all aspects would need to be published, not selected areas. I believe that
if I am seeing the folio work being done in class and checking on HWK tasks
prior to publishing, and that visualisations and annotations are scanned or
photographed and uploaded, that it should be fine. To me it is vital that
students have solid hand drawing communication skills, however, being able
to develop digital images appears to be gaining greater importance. This
particular student finds reading, spelling and handwriting most difficult
and is permitted access to a scribe and a laptop for exams. She is
incredibly creative, but also vulnerable, and I would like to allow her to
showcase her talents over her disability.
Penny for anyone's thoughts, especially VCAA personnel?!
