[Yr11 Information Technology] RE: Robotics, Vol 30, Issue 5

Thu Sep 6 15:02:33 EST 2007

Hi Sash, there is a teacher at Bellarine SC(OceanGrove/Drysdale) who is well into that topic from the 'lego' robocup perspective. Brian 'Thommo' Thomas is his name. That seems like a good way to get into it if you havent done it before. I am sure he'd be willing to have a yak but, he is very busy and often travelling so good luck catching him.
Some other schools I am sure have robotics in some shape or form so you should be able to get help somewhere. I think Waverley(or Glen Waverley) SC has this topic up and running too..they're closer to you. Lilydale SC is huge on the IT side of things so maybe try them too.
Hope this helps..

Hello everybody,
My name is Sash and I am a first year teacher at Scoresby S.C. In total,
I am teaching 6 ICT subjects including year 11. I am doing a unit in
robotics and since I have never done robotics before, I hope you guys
can help me. If any of you guys teach or have taught robotics in the
past please be kind and share your knowledge with me. It will be greatly
appreciated.

It's always the case.  Post, and immediately find the errors...

The exam has the correct multichoice answers marked with an asterisk.
Remember to do a global search/replace to change all asterisks to null
string before giving it to the kids  :-0

Since I posted the unit 2 exam I've fixed a couple of things here and
there (fiddly things - nothing major).

It's on the VITTA site if you want the latest revision.
