I have encouraged my students to attend and printed out the flier for them. I was just thinking ahead in terms of contingencies.<BR>
As I said before I am still finding my way with these things as this is my first year teaching year 12 since coming back to teaching. I wasn’t sure whether this was an event that schools paid for on behalf of students or something students were encouraged to attend off their own back. In any case, I would argue that it would be in their interest to attend as I agree with Roland that the real thing is undoubtedly best. I also believe in supporting the work of subject associations wholeheartedly. <BR>

<BR>
I might just add to the discussion of the filming of this event to say this. I think that ‘being there’ is preferable to not being there from the perspective that students will be able to ask questions, etc. I am not sure what the price of the ‘vodcast’ will be – but it will not be the same as the ‘attend’ price. I will have more information on this soon, but it will be priced as a school price (so that a teacher could purchase it for their class). The vodcast will primarily be used by regional Vic and those schools that have a large contingent going to Swinburne Open day. The catch 22 is that if everyone bails out of attending the event based on the availability of the vodcast – there will be no vodcast. In cases like this one, the attendance of Metro students helps VITTA help regional students – and the more metro students were have, the more economical the production of the vodcast will be.<BR>
<BR>
Worst case scenario, if we don’t have enough registrations for the event and we have to cancel, I will arrange for us to create some straight to video vodcasts that all schools can access – and will revisit this idea with more info if this happens.<BR>
<BR>
Cheers,<BR>
Adrian<BR>

</SPAN></FONT><FONT FACE="Calibri, Verdana, Helvetica, Arial"><SPAN STYLE='font-size:11pt'>That’s good news.<BR>
Can I ask a few questions though? $35.00 for an hour session? Is this the norm/a bit rich? Do you expect students to pay for this or do schools subsidize this for their students? How many students do you expect will attend these sessions?<BR>
And given this what would be the approximate cost of the video – it may be worth using this rather than going there live even though we are in the city. Presuming that it will be released asap post event.<BR>

Thanks in advance<BR>

I would like to take my IP applications class to the Exam Prep day, but<BR>
being from a country school in Trafalgar, My question is why only 1<BR>
hour. We don't have a systems or a VET class, so when the travel time is<BR>
4 times the length of the presentation, and to take a bus down we are<BR>
looking at costs of ~ $50 per student. For a hour revision session, I<BR>
don't think I can sell that to my students first, and then the parents<BR>
of my students who are going to have to shell out money.<BR>

A poser just occurred to me as I plan budgets for next year: if we buy<BR>
iPads, would they count as *computers* in the annual school ICT<BR>
inventory<BR>
(and therefore count towards DEECD's planned 1:1 ratio of year 9-12<BR>
students<BR>
per computer)?<BR>
