VELS+ICT+Level+2+(Years+1+to+2)

Progressing towards Level 2 At this level standards are not organised by dimensions. The [|learning focus] statement provides advice about learning experiences that will assist students to work towards the achievement of the standards at Level 2. At Level 2, students manipulate text, images and numeric data to create simple information products for specific audiences. They make simple changes to improve the appearance of their information products. They retrieve files and save new files using a naming system that is meaningful to them. They compose simple electronic messages to known recipients and send them successfully. With some assistance, students use ICT to locate and retrieve relevant information from a variety of sources.

 * ^  || **Information and Communications Technology*** use of one- and two-step manipulation techniques when processing text or numeric data to produce simple information products; for example, selecting and centring their name in a name tag
 * use of basic manipulation techniques to create graphics; for example, forming images using circles and lines
 * recognition and use of common icons such as the ‘home’ button for navigating multimedia resources ||^  || **Information and Communications Technology*** use of basic formatting techniques when processing text and numeric data to produce simple information products for a specific audience; for example, keying text that is bold and coloured, and inserting an image from clip art to create a child’s birthday invitation
 * use of manipulation techniques to create graphics for a specific purpose or audience; for example, drawing a clown on a child’s Get Well card
 * location of a specific website by keying the address provided by the teacher
 * use of a mouse to select and open a nominated file ||^  || **Information and Communications Technology*** use of manipulation and basic editing techniques to create simple, formatted information products such as presentations and book covers, and identification of minor improvements that could be made to their appearance
 * use of manipulation techniques to create graphics for use within a text-based product; for example, illustrations in a short report
 * location of specific information within nominated websites and CD ROMs, using given navigation paths
 * retrieval of stored files in a networked environment and the naming of newly created personal files ||^  ||
