[Yr7-10it] Essential skills

[Dr Paul Chandler]

Agree about the file management.  I think there are some "big issues"
which deserve addressing under this guise - make it more than "good name
in a good place with a proper extension".

A former student and I collaborated on a "File Manager Simulator" which
can make it easier to rehearse certain file management skills using more
"fun" activities.
