Hi,,
I have just been to the Vitta conference and have a few questions.

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 lessons the need to teach IT skills. 
Now someone set me straight please.

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:)!
