[Year 12 IT Apps] Well done Chris and thanks.

[Kent Beveridge]

Can I just say to you Chris, that task you posted for OC1_U3 and all the files is one hell of a time saver for some of us.
Basically, a big thanks! If I was in Melbourne and you were close, I'd shout you a beer!(or3)

Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] First post: Nelson Chapter 1 test,blank Project Management plans, practice SAC queries and resources



Hi,

 

I'm a first year VCE teacher doing Unit 3&4 IT Apps.  Thanks to all the people who've sent useful stuff directly to me or via the list - a veritable treasure-trove of helpful resources!!!  It's even too much at times!!!  Only just getting my head above water now...

 

Time to give something back...  Is it usual to just post attachments (if they're not too big) to the list?

 

Attached is my end of Chapter 1 test.  We use the Nelson textbook.  The test is very easy - mainly to make sure they've read the text, studied and learnt the key terms/knowledge.  Feedback appreciated...  I've started the answer to the Project Management question also...

 

We are currently doing a practice SAC - the one from the Nelson textbook web site (http://www.nelsoninfotech.com.au/it_u34/ in teacher resources).  It seems pretty straight-forward and I'm mainly getting them used to the steps/procedure to follow.  What would be helpful is some more sample answers/diagrams/tables/overheads etc. to show students what's expected for this practice SAC.  The solutions provided are pretty brief and the data structure tables (data dictionary) aren't 100% correct.  Whatever I create I'll upload.  I've got a blank project plan in MS Excel attached.  I've also attached my effort at writing a Problem Description.  I'd love some feedback on whether this is the expected sort of level or not...  Anyone else doing this practice SAC too?

 

For the "real" SAC (U301) is there a SAC that generally everyone else is using or what???  What other practice SACs have people found useful?

 

Thanks for the help, regards,

Chris M.
