[Year 12 IPM] ICT Progression Points

Wed Nov 8 14:49:10 EST 2006

All

I agree with this comment. In fact I have found this to be a real issue. I posted on this the day the progression points came out  with noe comment from anyone. I was beginning to think it was just me.

I find the progression points are written in a very non relatable fashion. I was hoping that the progression points would give us more clarity with ref to VELs but instead I find more confusion.

If this part of the VELs is left up to ALL the faculties to (referring to the post earlier today about "whose job it is to do this if there is no ICT in year 7-8) sort out and to satisfy, we are up the creek with out the proverbial... I find the progression points very daunting to read, how is a maths, or english or LOTE (they may have more of a chance as they understand french... :-)

I'm desperate for some guidance on this stuff. I have 6 faculties and 20 people after me looking for clarification on these issues.

Hi
On the topic of ICT Progression Points it would really help if we were
given a list of appropriate software tools same as VCE Study.

I am having difficulty working out what a dynamic modelling tool is in
relation to Level 5- Progression 5.25 " a use of nominated dynamic
modelling tools and manipulation and editing techniques to describe the
relationships between ideas"

The 'English teacher' was meant to be an example only.  Sorry for any
misunderstanding.
