[Yr7-10it] Vels reporting formats..

Sun Sep 7 18:36:55 EST 2008

Hi fellow listers,
I am just putting some fine tuning to  VELSifying the IT curriculum here and now am turning my attentions to the actual reports formats for final reporting this year...yep, we're doin' it at last!
To assist my format quest, I am seeking out suitable formats to use for years 7-10, which can/may be adapted for our needs here. 
We presently run the 7-10 I.T. subjects as standalone subjects. The content however, can still be related and fathomed via other curriculum areas. ie teach the IT skills and sometimes share topics across subject areas. 
If there are any of you out there willing to, and able to, share your formats (perhaps screen shots would be a good starter), this little black duck would be most eternally grateful. I'm sorta flying solo here with this one.
Quack!
Kent.

Hello Caterina
Glad I could be of help. We haven't changed over to CS3 yet because we will
need to upgrade a lot of computers to do so. But we're buying about 60 more
at the end of this year so they will have CS3 Master Collection which has
just about every application known to man! Of course the remaining hundreds
will only have CS2 and the Macromedia MX versions which means more work for
our poor overworked technicians. From what I've seen, the CS3 is
super-wizz-bang and does wonderful things. But that doesn't mean that CS2
isn't terrific because it is. In the end of things, it just comes down to
finances.

For instance, I would like to have the Year 10 Packaging/Product Design
students use CS3 to create a mobile phone background with Flash elements (it
appeals to them!) I saw it on a conference recently and was very enthused.
But it doesn't work in CS2 so I have to wait until next year.  

I've used a huge number of exercises from the Natcoll Dreamweaver, Flash,
Illustrator, InDesign and Photoshop books and have been pleased with all of
them. They are succinctly written and give good additional tips. In fact, I
think I've bought just about the entire range of their books.

I hope it's useful.

Diane Peat

Hi Diane,
Thank you as I had no idea there are student textbooks available for Flash
and etc.

Are you actually using  any of the new features in class delivered in
Flash CS3? Is there a benefit as our school is still on the MX version? We
teach Flash in year 8 & 9.

 Hello Antonia
> We have used some CS2 books by Natcoll Publishing, a New Zealand company
and

They

explained instructions. They've got CS3 versions out now too, and we'll
also

hope it's useful info.
