[Year 12 SofDev] SAT update

[Benjamin Ratcliffe]

Hi,

We are in to our second week on online teaching using Microsoft Teams and so far, so good. Happy to share our experiences.

In regards to the SAT and authentication, no remote solution will be 100%, but this is what I am doing:


  *   Google Drive so that I have track their progress using the version control
  *   At least fortnightly (will try for weekly) one-on-one reviews of their progress via MS Teams
  *   Requesting that they take photos and use screen captures to record them working on their SAT
     *   I am telling them this is important for Criteria 10 and the Project Evaluation/Reflection

The UK – who are much further into their school year – are talking about scrapping GCSE & A Level exams and working off SACs completed and teacher estimates.

Ben

Hi Victoria,

NB: I am teaching D.A this year not S.D. but same thing applies.

We are currently using an asynchronous model, but if we do go down a video and/or synchronous model, it is likely to be Microsoft Teams and Stream.

Re: monitoring; If working remotely, if students submit regular updates of their progress (say weekly) via a file sharing app (dropbox, google or onedrive etc ..) then that could work.
Not ideal, but these are not ideal times.

IMHO I think this school year is gone... Hope not.

Tony

Well, today’s VCAA announcement appears to suggest students will be able to develop their software solution at home with ongoing remote monitoring from teachers.

Our school is moving to Zoom next term. I’d be interested to know what everyone is using and how you expect to monitor your student’s work.
