<DIV><FONT face=3DArial size=3D3>i agree that the standards are written in p=

a maths/science teacher my first thought reading this one was using exc=
el
to analyse data, create averages, etc and produce charts. We also use some
physics data-logging software in yr9-10 that works in will with this. The ar=
t
staff use digital portfolios (powerpoint/producer)- the students collec=
t
images of their own work and intersperse it with images and text from art
history/theory to show how what they have learnt and how it has influenced t=
heir
work. I think Powerpoint in general is a good application for this standard=
in
the humanities as long as the kids are actually being selective with the inf=
o
and are presenting it in some kind of logical order. Webpage creation
is also a good application for this standard (here this is current=
ly
only done by about 30% of 9-10s and no 7-8s)</SPAN></DIV>

<DIV><BR></DIV>
<DIV>All</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I have been posting around IPM, VELS, 7-10IT, lists for the last litt=
le
while but with little results. I'm not sure as to the reason but have very=
little response to what I thought would be a really relatable thread. Help=
with VELS.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I accept that I'm a little slow and it has taken me a while to begin=
to
understand VELS and its structure but I find it difficult to imagine that=
I'm
the only one struggling with the interpretation and implementation of
it.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>When I read the Standards for the ICT domain there are lots of gaps i=
n my
understanding. I appreciated greatly the Standards Audit sheets that Andre=
w
contributed last week but I struggle to understand what they are asking. I=
gave these sheets to 3 faculties to fill out and all of them came back to=
me
saying "what the...."</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks to all those that participated in the 'progression points' thr=
ead
of a week bk. This is real help. I don't want to go to another vels in ser=
vice
day where someone just stands up the front and reads out the standards
again.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Has VITTA published anything on interpreting the standards...</DIV>
<DIV>Has VCAA anything to offer here...</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>I'm after VELs for dummies but as yet have not found the publisher to=
buy
it from.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Thanks</DIV>

<DIV>Regards</DIV>
