<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">Firstly, apologies for sending this email out in the current educational climate. I know how busy we are in preparing for remote learning and navigating the challenges that lie ahead. If you
have a spare 5 minutes, I would really appreciate your feedback on some research I am conducting for a Master of Ed and to shape some decision making within my College.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">You are invited to participate in a survey that aims to discover which programming platforms Victorian schools are currently using. This research hopes to identify which platforms are efficient
and effective in creating user interfaces for year 9 and 10 programming solutions, within the current educational context. The data collected from this survey will be used to assist in a situational analysis comparing different platforms for creating user
interfaces with programming for years 9 and 10. The findings of this research will be presented as part of an assessment task for the Master of Education (Digital Technologies) through the University of Sydney. It will also provide guidance for future decision
making relating to Year 9 and 10 programming languages within my College.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
