[senit] [!! SPAM] Re: ICT PIVATS

I added the performance descriptors from the QCA documents mentioned below 
to the Resources pages in The Whiteboard Room to help people decide what 
sort of skills their pupils should have in order to use the resources.

I have also been using ICT PIVATS and must admit to finding the indicators 
interesting! I too would be very interested in a copy of Sarah's document - 
and if it would help I would be happy to put a copy in the Information 
section of The Whiteboard Room for others to see.

Best wishes,
