[vet-mm] exam theory

Wed Jul 5 20:48:09 EST 2006

Thanks Sue and Rob,

For your feedback.  Vaughan is an American text book by Tay Vaughan which attempts
to cover areas from typography, animation, image manipulation to name but a few.  It's expensive,
about $90.00, and its a bit outdated too.  I find it useful for my own studies, but dictating reams
of text and answering comprehension questions does not fit with my teaching style.  I like a more hands
on approach.

PS.  Sue, your PD was excellent and my students are alrady getting into their comic making!

Hi Paul,
the sad thing is there are no books that will adequately prepare
students for the exam. However, I've found the Binary Blue resource to
be the most useful. You can register yourself at www.binaryblue.com.au
Good luck.
Regards, Sue

As a first year teacher teaching Cert III, I am a little concerned about
my coverage of the theory in the subject.  Are the Barnes books adequate
for students to prepare for the final exam?  I have the Vaughan book,
but am unsure of which chapters are most relevant.  

Any feedback from experienced Vetters would be greatly appreciated!
Only 13 weeks to go.  :)

Subject: Re: [vet-mm] Actionscripting or Javascript?

Java is not used in the exam but JavaScript can be.  A vast difference 
between the 2.  I would touch on a little JavaScript when you do web 
pages so the kids see scripting in a different way but Flash tends to be

flavour of the year or 2 or 3.
