Hi all,
to start off I know this is also on the wrong forum but for some reason we always go back to IPM don't we... also I can not find the VELs address... SORRY ..

I have spent the last two days going thought the vels with two non IT teachers and I think by the end of the week I will have it nutted out. would love some feedback on if we have it right.   if we are ok with it I will seek permission (I am not sure even if I need it) to post it up for every one.. or maybe create a VELs for dummies for ICT??? what do you all think

we have got all the strands/domains/standards for the ICT skills and put them into plain English this is then going to be handed to KLA area's for them to decide who is going to make of what areas...  man that is going to be an interesting session or two.. as the network manager it will then be my job to make sure that all areas of it are covered and if not instruct KLA teams as to what else they are going to be responsible for...

so basically next week if someone reminds me I should be able to part some more light on this.. but the KLA's will not have seen it yet...

I hope that this helps.

cheers

All

I have been posting around IPM, VELS, 7-10IT, lists for the last little 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.

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.

When I read the Standards for the ICT domain there are lots of gaps in my understanding. I appreciated greatly the Standards Audit sheets that Andrew 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...."

Thanks to all those that participated in the 'progression points' thread of a week bk. This is real help. I don't want to go to another vels in service day where someone just stands up the front and reads out the standards again.

Has VITTA published anything on interpreting the standards...
Has VCAA anything to offer here...

I'm after VELs for dummies but as yet have not found the publisher to buy it from.

Thanks

Regards

Brendyn
