In Class Formal Exam Tests
Note: In the ICT Homework list below you will see that some time is set aside for an exam, I used to give students a shortened copy of one of the above formal exams (sample here) and tell them that they would have an in-class, closed book exam based on the questions in that exam paper. The students would sit the in-class exam (during a normal lesson) as a formal no talking exam and answer the questions (which were given out a week or so ago). In the next lesson we would go through the correct answers and students would self mark or change places and mark. I would do this every few weeks using the above exam papers. (see below)

The weekly plan is for 40 lessons per term based on 40 minute per lesson, usually 4 lessons per week, each lesson block is broken up into LESSON, TUTORIAL, WORKSHEET or WEBQUEST, TEST and HOMEWORK plus a row to say when Tasks are issued or required. Students will be given one or more of the above to work on during the lesson.
There is sufficient here to start a complete year with tutorials, tests, web quests, worksheets, lessons and homework all with solutions. It will just depend on the tasks that you wish to use that will determine the structure of this yearly plan.
Your students will need to work very hard to maintain all this workload so feel free to modify the scope of work to suit.
If your students are completing Stage 2 and 3 or Cert II IT some components will be duplicated.
My students used a web page to submit their work to me using web pages created with Dreamweaver, in week 1.
For tutorial lessons, worksheets, web quests or tests I allow one lesson per week for free catchup work or revision, or to review tutorial skills.
I provide four Tasks and plan these for the first three terms, with an additional revision or evaluation project or additional assessment task in term 4 if it is (or I feel it is required). If we use a handbook or manual this work will be undertaken during the free day.
EXAMS & TESTS I conduct several tests during the term most undertaken in class, however I have one homework sheet per week (about 3 questions) for students to undertake in their own time, these are due the following week when solutions are given and students mark their own work or swap mark. Homework is worth 10% of total marks
In these classes I use Worksheets Web quests and Web Quests as the main source, many worksheets can be used across several ICT lessons so in some instances the students may have already undertaken the work in Cert II IT or Cert II Bus or in ICT classes like AIT Stage 1 or 3
Worksheets Web quests explain the elements of the topic with questions and test sections for students to answer, all come with a solution sheet for the teacher.
Web Quests cover topics where students must find information on the Internet or in Resource material and answer all questions.Most come with a solution sheet for the teacher.
THREE YEAR ROTATION: I basically ran a three sets of tasks for stage 2AIT and rotated them over a three (3) year cycle, with modifications to suit changes in the curriculum. The training packages would obviously change to suit the set of tasks and you really only need to cover the set (Investigation, Plan, Response and Produce) so once I had my year set I just rotated them, this way year 11 students taking AIT2 would not hit a repeat of a task as year 12 student the following year.
The AIT Lesson Plan tended to follow the same pattern each year and covered the subject course requirements so I created lots of software training worksheets and some tests and exams to suit each set. I like to throw lots of work at the kids and do spread the tasks over Term 1, 2 and Term 3 but as you can see on this plan I get three tasks underway early and will try and start Term 3 Tasks in Term 2, (Remember year 12's do not do much in Term 4).
A sample basic lesson planner is here. I spent a lot of time on developing sofware skills and used web quests and quizzes with solutions to help students understand terminology and content. I always made my students create a web page with links to all their work so I could get to their work on line through the school intranet. This made life very much easier to mark student work. A sample of how a student AIT Site web class looks is here.
