This doesn't quite answer my question. If I am using Visual Basic.....what is the level I should be testing my kids at.

Approved programming languages and necessary programming skills (adapted
from VCE Bulletin #38, June 2006)
The bulletin specifies that:
"In the development of this software, students should be able to:
* develop a graphical user interface (GUI), for use in portable
computing devices, such as laptops, personal digital assistants, gaming
consoles, mobile phones
* construct and use data structures, for example arrays, strings, sets,
lists, tables, records and stacks
* design, construct and use fi les to store and retrieve data
* design and apply data-validation techniques
* use program control structures: selection, iteration and sequencing.
The purpose-designed software will entail the use of objects, methods
and their properties, and event-driven
programming."
Approved languages
* Delphi
* Visual Basic (not Visual Basic for Applications)
* REALbasic
* Visual Basic.NET
* Visual C++ , Visual C#
* Visual Fox Pro
* Pascal (object-oriented variations only)
* Visual J, Visual J#
* Java
* Perl
* PHP
* Python
* Ruby
The bulletin adds, "Additional languages can be used to embellish a
product, for example Javascript with webpages. However, these would be
supplementary to the main language and not replace it."
Also: "Specific distributions, projects or variations of languages may
be suitable as long as they are able to address the criteria listed
above..." Read the bulletin for more details.

Dear colleagues
Over the past couple of years I have made reference on several occasions
to the VCAA-developed resource called 'Design awareness in schools'
(DAIS). It was originally published on the DVD titled 'Student learning
2006', which contained the validated VELS and other DEECD resources.
Unfortunately the DAIS resource was overlooked by many teachers, and in
fact many schools have disposed of the DVD because of its date. Anyhow,
I'm pleased to announce that a version is now available on the VELS
website at:
http://vels.vcaa.vic.edu.au/support/dais/index.html
In this format it is a little clunky as it appears as a discrete set of
downloads, and within some of these files the links are not as efficient
as they are on the DVD. However, if you have not seen or used the
resource before I urge you to check it out - not only are there some
create sections on design principles and elements but there is a
separate section on ICT and design. This is a very accessible resource
for all teachers, not just ICT, particularly as ICT is embedded in other
areas of learning.

Digital Document Quarterly 7(1) is available
The Digital Document Quarterly newsletter volume 7 number 1 is available
at http://home.pacbell.net/hgladney/ddq_7_1.htm. Its table of contents is
available at http://home.pacbell.net/hgladney/ddq.htm#Y2008.
As has become a recurring pattern, the top level topics of this DDQ number
include Digital Preservation, Epistemology, News, Practical Matters, and
Price Watch. A less usual column is Open Access, identifying the giant
book digitization initiatives announced recently.
The character of DDQ is evolving to include a far greater ratio of links
to text than when the newsletter began 6 years ago. I hope that readers
will find this useful.
One squib, A Software Engineering Contribution, engendered a surprising
amount of criticism and debate among some of the colleagues who preview
each DDQ number. I wonder whether readers will find it as controversial
as these colleagues did, and invite comment on this (as well as anything
else in DDQ).
Cheerio, Henry
