Sure Brendyn, this list is sort of an amalgam of VELS and what fits in
with our subject requirements with a measure of judgement thrown in.

Use it as you wish but beware there is a large dollop of opinion in it!

Brett Groves

Help.

Does anyone have or know where to get... I'm looking for a list or table
that would reference actual ICT skills with the VELs levels or a year
level.

Not the VELs progression points (these still need interpreting)but
actual computer skills. eg. can rename a file, using spreadsheet to
manipulate data and produce a graph, etc etc.

Thanks in hope.

Cheers
