3. Why did we introduce Multi
! FCC:
! IT subjects in the school decreasing
! Option for “less academic students” originally, but this
changed
! Attract girls
! PMHS:
! No problems with Girls
! Huge IT focus in school

4. Resources

Textbook:
Rochford (Industrial Technology) is mainly for timber
Multimedia Making it Work th Ed (Tay Vaughn) - pretty good
American resource

6. Inservices
! Every year IIATE runs an Industrial Technology
Seminar Day. It is excellent and you can take
students as well. Each attendee gets a booklet and
lunch.

7. Beginning the Year in IndTech
• What if you have another IndTech in your school
e.g. Timber?
o workingtogether on assessments, marking and
resources. Remember this is ONE cohort!
• Make sure you get the ranking right in assessments
(teacher communication is important here)
• Need consistancy with tasks/marking. General tasks not
multi specific. Look at how the BOS do it - range of skill,
depth of skill.
• Multiple major works - no double up of content (art, DT
etc.) Double dipping is bad.

8. Different approaches to curriculum
structure: FCC
! ne week at the beginning of the term for industry study
O
• Students work out of a booklet based on CSU online (hsc.csu.edu.au
• Lots of essay writing in year 11
! -2 weeks learning programs
1
! major project a term
1
• Photoshop and Flash
• Website/Video
• Game Design
• Multi content is integrated

9.
o Yr 12 broken into one theory lesson a week
 focus on ind study first then mm content
 lots of sample q’s and papers
 lots of essay writing
 There is no provided Multi trial paper you will need to
create your own.
o 1st assessment industry study of a business
o Remaining assessments build towards major work
o T4 and ¾ of T1 spent on folio

10. Alternative Structure: PMHS
• pbl (integrated theory/practical projects)
• Propose a product and support with business plan. What
are the things that will effect the development of your
business, prototype of the product.
• Students choose which area to focus on with negotiation
from teacher. (Building skills of every student)

11. • Practical lessons based on needs to know (when
student needs to)
• Lots of pre-videoed content. Pre-prepared resources.
• Student summaries (Group summaries using Google
Docs)
• Lots of sample essay writing in year 11. Homework,
sample answers, marked answers.

12. Year 12 PMHS
Mark major projects as an assessment (show progress)
o Marking components of the folio/prac NOT the whole
thing
• Cannot use the BOS criteria for this.
• Theory lessons every week. Lots of reading/video /
answering questions homework.
• T4 spent on folio (folio segment due early)
• Finish project early.
• Revision of exam content prior to Trial exams
• Lots of practice exams

13. Portfolio Requirements
• Now 80 pages (be familiar with BOS rules)
• Specs including fonts sizes and use of computer operations
• Students must customise the process to their own project
o using data from Yr11 will not cut it
• Management of folio is much easier with a desktop
publishing program
• MUST show written, graphical communication
o graphs, charts, drawings, annotations

14. Practical Requirements
• Software to use? (DET have Adobe Suite, YAY!)
o Industry standard software when you can
o Very expensive course to setup and maintain
o Animation, video editing, 3d, image manipulation, audio
editing
 students can use software the school does not have
with permission from the teacher

15. • How the project is marked
• What are acceptable projects?
o ace manual
• What you need to consider in choosing projects
• How to increase marks for projects that are low level
• How to get great level projects (website, adding
media)
• Managing 100 different projects/software (good luck!)

19. Practical Requirements Cont...
• Look at range of depth and skill
• Allow students to pick their own projects with neogtiation
• Spend the last term adding stuff to students projects - or
cutting out
o enhance projects that are lacking

20. • No1 rule - project must be completed (and look
finished)
o betterto do a table and one chair thats finished
than a table and six chairs that are not.
• Construction steps showing their skills (proof)
• Keep a log of students work
• Make sure you have seen them compelte the majority
of work

21. Exam Analysis
• Exam structure
• What do students need to know?
• Building exam knowledge
• Lets some make some exam questions!
o essay questions
o multimedia questions

23. Most Important Things
• Team building
• Tutorials
• Teach them
• Allow them to make mistakes/changes
• Take ownership of their work
• Chose a major that interests them - avoid forcing them
• Collaborate with other IndTech teachers
• Know your stuff - high level of technical knowledge
• Be honest with students - if you don't know a program tell
them!
