[Year 12 IPM] IT in VELS

[Michael Warden]

Here is my 2 cents worth....

IT teachers should teach a Year 7 introductory course specialising in:

1). Effective File management procedures.
2). Word Processing of reports, letters and resumes suitable for "High
School" level using suitable templates etc.
3). Effective Web Page authoring so students can (create) and/or edit their
own web sites with suitably-formatted text, images and hyperlinks.
4). Spreadsheets to show students how to enter and select data to create
effective graphs.

No offense to any Eng/SOSE/Math/Sci teachers, but they may not have the
necessary expertise and knowledge of correct layout/formats to effectively
instruct the students.

Any comments.....
