size=2>> Hi,,<BR>> I have just been to the Vitta conference and have a few
questions.<BR>> <BR>> q1)What is the future of VET IT in respects to
teaching IT skills? I am hearing IT skills are not being taught as much in
some areas now in new VET courses. There was a claim that wizards can do
it all which<FONT color=#ff0000 size=6> lessons</FONT> the need to teach IT
skills.<BR>> Now someone set me straight please.<BR>> <BR>> comment:I
loved the games in education at the conference and have been creating my own
resources along those lines. I see a big future for interactive software.
Scottish education seems to have stolen my idea or maybe it is in the
genes:)!<BR>> <BR>> Important - This email and any attachments may be
