[Year 12 SofDev] RE: [Year 12 IT Apps] VCE & VET IT U3O2 samplesite

[Emily Coldwell]

My understanding of a prototype is complete mock-up, with one or two fully 
functional parts - to be shown to the client to receive feedback, etc. So 
part of it needs to work - it can't be all screenshots.

But this is coming from my knowledge as an IT uni student, not an IT 
teacher! Please tell me if I am out of place adding my own two cents!
