We see that this as an effective way of preparing students to utilise ICT in other KLAs more effectively. With such a unit, IT teachers would be able to teach the required foundation (basic) skills in a consistent manner. Ideally one would rather have this type of unit in Year 7, but curriculum restructuring last year lead to computer studies beng deleted from the year 7 curriculum.

Also, I am currently evaluating how the book 'Practice IT' book 1 (new edition) could fit into such a programme. For example, if you have experience in the use of Practice IT, how many units from the book have you found you can complete in a semester?
