[VELS] Re: ICT Progression Points -- let's use the VELS list please .....

[Kevork Krozian]

Dear Colleagues,

    VELS is in full swing and the concerns and issues are quickly rising
to the surface.

    However, let us remember this is the IPM list soon to be transformed
into the itapps list  ........

     Many schools don't teach IPM any more ( and may not be teaching
itapps ) and these teachers have specifically removed themselves from
the IPM list. BUT they may well be teaching junior IT.

     VELS has had its own list operating for over 12 months and also has
several resources posted on its companion web site accessible from
www.edulists.com.au

     So, can I please ask our contributors to shift this discussion to the
vels list as I am trying to do now by redirecting it to
vels at edulists.com.au ?

     Subscribing is easy. Just click subscribe at www.edulists.com.au and
select VELS , fill in the form and you are almost there.

     In anticipation of your kind cooperation.
