<p class=MsoNormal>Hi everyone (and apologies for the cross posts),<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I would like to follow up Rob’s email concerning
SwinGame by saying that VITTA is very pleased to be working closely with
Swinburne Uni. on this initiative (and others). The work that has been done in
created the website and the materials that are available so far – is terrific,
so I would encourage you all to check it out (even if your students do not ultimately
enter the competition). <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>VITTA and Swinburne Uni. are currently in the process of
using these materials as the basis for the 2008 Programming Awards – so that
students in years 7-10 will also have the opportunity to get involved! More on
this soon – but in the meantime, let your students know about this
exciting initiative and good luck!<o:p></o:p></p>
