[Year 12 Its] OT-Design and IT

[Frank Merlino]

Thanks Russell.
I was aware of the VELS material. Basically we (the Tech. faculty) are moving towards more technical aspects of IT (eg.how things work)..not mentioned in VELS. VELS does not include this. It does however state that ICT is to be part of each KLA unit.

Regards,

Hi Frank

The following is the framework we have been given under VELS.  When  
the Standards themselves have been published it should identify a  
more targetable list of skills.

http://vels.vcaa.vic.edu.au/essential/interdisciplinary/ict/index.html



Through the selection and application of appropriate equipment,  
techniques and procedures, students learn to:

process data and information to create solutions to problems and  
information products that demonstrate their knowledge and  
understandings of the concepts, issues, relationships and processes  
related to all areas of the curriculum
manage their files to secure their contents and enable efficient  
retrieval
plan and monitor the progress of extended tasks.

Students learn to use ICT efficiently to capture, validate and  
manipulate data for required purposes. In order to improve the  
appearance and functionality of information products and solutions,  
they apply commonly accepted conventions. They examine the ethical  
and legal implications of using ICT in a range of settings such as  
the home, school and the workplace. Students evaluate the usefulness  
of ICT for solving different types of problems and reflect on the  
effectiveness of their own use of ICT.
