[Year 12 IT Apps] AusVELS and Digital Technologies

[Brendyn Hancock]

Paula

Last year we spoke about you possibly making the journey out this way in order to promote/give information on the new Digital Technologies area and General Capabilities in the Australian Curriculum.

After consulting some others I would like to propose that we plan for a meeting in Sale (that saves you an hr travel each way) and makes it just that little more attractive for other schools (sth Gippsland).
I propose an afternoon session from say 1pm - 3pm. We would invite every school (secondary) catholic/DEET/other (???) and plan for some time in Mid Term 2, 2014.

This email is to open up the conversation and start to look at things like dates/content/logistic etc etc.

Thank you.

Cheers

Brendyn

Dear colleagues

I'm just alerting you to a VCAA Notice to Schools, which outlines the curriculum and reporting responsibilities that government and Catholic schools have with respect to AusVELS in 2015. Regarding Digital Technologies (one of two subjects within the Technologies Learning Area), schools are expected to begin implementing the curriculum from 2015. This can mean many things for example, a staggered implementation beginning in 2015, with whole-school coverage achieved within three years; a full implementation across a school from 2016 etc. How this done is a school decision. As yet no 'final date' for complete implementation has been published.
