[Year 12 SofDev] Teaching SD and ITA in the same classroom

[Quentin Lydall]

Hi John,

 

I had similar circumstances in my previous school, Unit 1-2, IP&M and
Systems all in the same class (previous study design).  It went
reasonably well because I put their work on websites on the school's
network and with short core lessons could let the students learn at
their own pace.  It was a lot of work, especially in the beginning, but
after the setup year it became easier.  I could spend a lot of class
time working with individuals or small groups, which was beneficial, but
had to keep good records of who was at which stage.  

 

I no longer have that situation and would not wish it on anyone,
teachers or students.  The one advantage was that they could learn at
their own pace due to all the course material being available.  This
worked so well that I use the same method here, though here it is on a
Moodle-based  intranet which the students can log on to from home as
well.  

 

Hope this helps.

Hi Everyone,

 

Since the year 12s have left I thought I might ask this question. This
year I have taught ITA and SD in the same classroom at the same time
this year. I have not been real happy with the way it went so I thought
I would ask if there anyone else in the same predicament and if so how
did you handle it? Or if anyone has some suggestions then I would be
most grateful.

 

Many Thanks,

 

John Edwards
