[Year 12 IPM] IT in VELS

[Robert Timmer-Arends]

I would add:
- basic image editing skills (cropping, rotating, changing resolution)
- basic understanding of image resolution and  file formats
- basic knowledge of document formats and conventions (print and screen)
- effective use of search engines

Here is my 2 cents worth....

IT teachers should teach a Year 7 introductory course specialising in:

1). Effective File management procedures.
2). Word Processing of reports, letters and resumes suitable for "High
School" level using suitable templates etc.
3). Effective Web Page authoring so students can (create) and/or edit their
own web sites with suitably-formatted text, images and hyperlinks.
4). Spreadsheets to show students how to enter and select data to create
effective graphs.

No offense to any Eng/SOSE/Math/Sci teachers, but they may not have the
necessary expertise and knowledge of correct layout/formats to effectively
instruct the students.

Any comments.....
