While we all have a passion for teaching IT, this is a discipline that demands a lot of your time and energy. Technologies are always changing, there are new languages to learn, new software to get your head around, technical issues that get in the way as well as changes in the course to get our heads around every few years (or so). Not to mention just how hard it is being a TEACHER - dealing with classroom issues and balancing workload with family and life in general.</div><div><br></div><div>While you have no doubt had all of these same issues, feelings and challenges before you - the hard work and passion that you have had for this field has been clearly evident. I suspect the sum total of your work is rather like an inverted ice-burg (wait for it - I'll get there)... While some of us share what we can and contribute when we can - for many of us Mark - YOU have been our teacher - and your efforts are all above the water and there for the good of the community as a whole.</div><div><br></div><div>I've done a bit of presenting around the place - teacher PD as well as student lectures and the like, and when I mention <a href="http://vceit.com" target="_blank">vceit.com</a> or (back in the 'old' days - the McKinnon SC site), EVERYONE would say "oh yeah - we know all about that already" and similar sentiments. Your resources quickly became compulsory reading for teachers and students across the state. </div><div><br></div><div>Your exam post-mortems became 'must-reads'. You have also been an advocate for fair and transparent assessment / course construction - and your 'discussions' with VCAA over the years have been entertaining (better than ANY Adam Sandler movie at least - no really). But on a more serious note, these discussions were very important - and I hope as a community, we continue to have them.</div><div><br></div><div>Mark - all the very best. Don't be a stranger!</div><div><br></div><div>You have been inspirational.</div></div><div><div><br></div><div>Adrian</div></div><div class="gmail_extra"><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, May 8, 2018 at 7:21 AM, Chattrath, Divinderjit S <span><<a href="mailto:chattrath.divinderjit.s@edumail.vic.gov.au" target="_blank">chattrath.divinderjit.s@<wbr>edumail.vic.gov.au</a>></span> wrote:<br><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex">Hi Mark, <br>

> I feel as if the IT community body has lost a vital organ with your departure. <br>
> <br>
> <br>
> <br>
> I know I speak for everyone when I express my gratitude for all you have done for your colleagues over the last 23 years that Edulists has been around and longer if we consider the various conferences, professional learning days, the texts, the vceit online endless resources , sample work activities, powerpoints, exam post mortems, teaching activities, and the list just goes on and on. <br>
> <br>
> <br>
> <br>
> Your humour, humanity and readiness to jump in to help, day or night, has made this community so much stronger and I know we will never be the same without you. I always feel your special skill to make a complex idea simple with humour and lots of examples was the hallmark of an awesome teacher , a title you deserve without question.<br>
> <br>
> <br>
> <br>
> I wish you a well-earned rest, lots of café frappes and walks on the beach as well as new passions to keep the interest and intensity in your life ticking as you would like it to tick. <br>
> <br>
> <br>
> <br>
> <br>
> <br>
> Bon voyage and hope we can stay in touch<br>
