[Year 12 IT Apps] some planning tools for 09 folks...

Fri Jan 16 11:20:35 EST 2009

For those who are getting some planning stuff moving for this year, here are a few files to help. Particularly useful if this is your first year teaching ITApps are the Potts worksheets, Unit 3 planner(last years dates on this one) and the OC1 task files. 
The assessment workbook covers years 7-12 , as does the planner for those using VELS assessment etc. 
Hope you find these useful folks. 
Cheers all..(6 files in all are attached)

Hi

Sorry for the extremely late off topic post, but I have a student that is completing software development by disatance Ed and he was struggling to get access to any practice exams. Is there anyone who may be able to help with this situation?? I have not taught SD and the school hasnt run it so I have no access to any resources.

Thanks for any help

Hi Folks,

   The students have searched and found archives of messages. Currently these are public to encourage interest and participation in these lists just like the search function on the Edulists site. We could make all these private and require passwords that people will lose and ask for again and again ......  No disrespect intended here, just stating what happens in reality.  How bad is it if a student sees a teacher asking a question ? or learning or expanding their knowledge ?

   The approach I have taken is to make edulists as open as possible except for sample SACs , exams and other assessment material which lives behind a password.
There are other closed lists that operate, but you can't find them unless invited.

   In the 12 years edulists has been running, and more than 100,000 emails later we haven't had anyone scream or bleed or otherwise get into trouble. 
   As a teacher as opposed to the Edulists administrator, if a student of mine found a thread I was in and wanted to ask me what I was trying to find out or investigate, I would be glad to share with him/her the issue or discussion and ask for his input or help. In fact, often I mention the content of some of the threads going on with the lists.  There are lecturers, industry reps, and other non teachers on the lists as well. I

    If a teacher from any part of the world did a search on a topic and landed on the Edulists site and found it of interest and joined the list without hindrance or obstacles, that would be a victory for education. To block access with passwords and hurdles would be a defeat as we want instant information and would hardly come back the day after if we don't get it straight away. 

 Just my thoughts. I do hope people can see where I am coming from .
Happy to hear other views.

Take Care

Thanks Margaret,

We do tend to overlook some things.

We have two choices on this security issue -

either

we need to restrict access to the list messages to authorised list members -
don't ask me how, I'm not a security expert.

or

we must be careful what we say, so that students or other "non-members" of
the list cannot gain any "useful" or personal infomation that we do not want
them to have.

Answer?

What do we want? And what is actually possible?

One of the joys of the Internet, and also one of the biggest problems, is
the open access of information to all of us.

Where do these lists need to go?
