 supported by the VCAA, they are not being moderated, and they will eventually stop working. We know it's really important for teachers to have a space to ask questions and share ideas, so we are trying to look at alternative forums. If you know of any other
 online communities that work well - perhaps a colleague from your school is involved in one for their subject area - please let me know and I'll look into it.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
