[Year 12 IT Apps] Exam prep....

[Kent Beveridge]

Was doing an on-board summary of topics with my kids today in ITapps (very mind-mappish approach) to help them see what they could remember as the main topics done this year (or had forgotten!). During our discussions it was decided (with a little prompting..) that each student be allocated a topic to summarize then we would 'pool' these summaries and I offered to copy them(there go more trees!) for a general course summary in THEIR words. This will be a great revision tool I am hoping given that its their ideas and interpretation. What worries me is the format and quality of what is likely to be submitted.
What do others think of this approach as a 'study tool' ?
Methinks I will get them to submit these in a certain font in word with certain parameters so I have a consistent lot of submissions.
Perhaps if good enough, could this be posted on our list or VITTA site for future reference, or would this breach any rules, laws etc? Legal stuff is not my strong point (as one perpetually annoying student keeps pointing out!).

Mark, I decided to record the "Grand Designs" program and found a friend who had the program from last week. Talk about a tight planning schedule! You are right, it's is a great real-world example that I could use in the classroom for project management. Hmmm students could even try to recreate a gantt chart as they follow the program. :-) 

Thanks for sharing this.

Regards Roland
