<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"; color:black"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"; color:black">With SAC conditions, it is not always possible to have a talking- free zone, particularly when the SAC is over a long period. Outcome 5, where the kids track their development
in programming is one such example - they should be asking questions, helping and interacting with each other. I monitor the work produced, but mainly assess their journals, testing tables and the ICT career investigation. I try not to have too many kids
investigating the same career, or if they are they are, not sitting together.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"; color:black"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"; color:black">In outcome 6, it is a group task, so naturally they have to talk! I think the biggest problem with this outcome is the division of labour - it always seems that some kids do
more than others and its hard to distinguish who has done what when you come to assess it. On a philosophical level, they should probably all get the same; if someone in the group wasn't working, then it should have been up to the others to put the pressure
on. I think I am going to include some sort of personal diary next time I do this SAC so at least they have to pretend to do something constructive each period!</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"; color:black"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"; color:black">How do others mark group tasks? Do you mark each person's contribution separately? Or do you give all members of the group the same mark, regardless of how much work he/she
did? </span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"; color:black">Just looking over my notes from last year on IT unit 1/2.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"; color:black">IN UNit 2 there is a long assigmnet parts A/B and then a group project , for outcomes 2 & 3.</span></p>

<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"; color:black">What I want to know is SAC conditions. I allowed some talking for both SACs for various reasons.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"; color:black">Unit 2 outcome 2 went for about 3 weeks with some sick leave I took.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"; color:black"> </span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"; color:black">How do other people handle these conditions as do you allow any talking etc.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif"; color:black">It is too easy for students to 'cheat' with these long SACs and group work. They can get an answer at home and not bring the answer in.</span></p>
