[Year 12 IT Apps] Css and html? and VCAA/VITTA Stuff..Kent

[Kent Beveridge]

Thanks Mark,
will ensure my class touch base on CSS  for the OC.  My bad! (got all the other bases covered...).
Just finishing OC 1 ...final due this Friday. OC2 due usually w7 or w8 of Term2 with my lot.

ps..The VCAA Cert3 PD today at Moonee Ponds was well worth being there(scored assessment was the topic).

They (VCAA) are looking for some exam assessors so interested parties go to the VCAA site and follow the careers link to the assessors needed link. I am thinking about applying for the experience and insight it could provide.

Oh, also, thanks to Jo Maclaey and John Pearce for running the  PLN session at our school in Horsham Monday night. Well worth it.

Kent.

Subject: Re: [Year 12 IT Apps] Css and html?

The required web editing skills are modest.  We use Dreamweaver, but I let kids using raw HTML if they like.  The main thing is that they demonstrate their understanding of the needs of a virtual team, and the tools that can help satisfy those needs.

The software functions specified in http://www.vcaa.vic.edu.au/vce/studies/infotech/it-apps-software-sr.pdf says:

"Students should be able to demonstrate skills with the following software and functions for Outcome 2.
Web authoring

• Cascading Style Sheets
• edit and format text
• links (relative and absolute links, internal and external links)
• navigation
• screen formats such as tables/frames/shared borders
• tagging (metadata tags, alt tags)
• forms
• import images/sound.

With Dreamweaver CS4, CSS is virtually mandatory since the old text formatting system has been removed.
As for using forms, kids can't get them to actually post in the school environment (since forms need server-side help to be posted) so they have to be simulated.

Hi,

In Unit 3 outcome 2, are students developing webapges with a package and/or do they need to know Css/Html.
I am using Visual Web Developer as this covers all aspects and can allow for any interactive content. I know interactive content is not needed.
