Hi Liz,

As we had been working remotely for the last 3 weeks of term 1 at our school, we have already been thinking about what to do with our students.
We think we will make foam core/cardboard prototypes for production for Unit 1 as this can be done from home- our students were all making smaller products so this would be possible. Then maybe we will laser cut or 3d print components for them that they draw up. They would be modified designs of their products.

Our year 11s asked if they could just do their unit 2 folios in terms 2 so if they return in term 3 they can make the 2 products they have designed in the first half of the year. So that is something we might be about to partly do as well.

I was also thinking of conducting some of the materials/process tests myself via video link with the yr 12s for criteria 5 and they write them up like a science prac observation- that is if I can get into the workshop as school. I’ve been conducting my classes that way for 3 weeks. The students can do all of the prep work as far at the requirements of the tests are and then write up the results. I suppose we will have to wait and hear from the VCAA about this though. I would basically just be their hands etc. Don’t know if that would be allowed but might work.

Hi everyone,

Hope you are all doing okay.

Well its clear that we will be teaching online for several weeks to come, possibly the entire term.

Just wondering how people are going to manage their Unit 1 classes. ie folio done and now into production.

My Unit 3’s are still working on their folio and hopefully their production can be extended into Term 4 and we can focus on Unit 4 SAC now instead. Waiting to hear more

from VCAA on this.

What are peoples interpretation of the situation and how you will manage your classes and students remotely? I have ideas but would like peoples thoughts to include

in the mix.

Cheers,

Liz
