Thanks, Kevork. As a new subscriber I was a bit sus about the quietness of<br>this list group.<br><br>I recently took my Year 12s to the Top Design exhibition and it was a great<br>eye opener for them. It made them understand why I crack the whip with them<br>so much in terms of quality and quantity of output that is required for<br>their folios. And I think that they have now produced work that is<br>comparable to that which was displayed in the exhibition.<br><br>Does anyone know how I can apply to get some of my students into Top Design<br>for next year? I have only taught VCD up to year 11 before this year, so I<br>am not familiar with the procedure.<br><br>Thanks,<br>Claudia Priori<br>St Paul's College<br>Altona North Vic<br><br>-----Original Message-----<br>From: vcd-bounces@edulists.com.au [mailto:vcd-bounces@edulists.com.au] On<br>Behalf Of Kevork Krozian<br>Sent: Monday, 11 June 2007 1:10 PM<br>To: Visual Communication and Design Teachers' Mailing List<br>Cc: suekeech@yahoo.com.au; Morrison D.<br>Subject: Re: [Visual Communication and Design] free professional development<br><br>Dear VCD teachers,<br><br>    The VCD mailing list was set up around 3 years ago with the agreement of<br><br>David Morrison , a good friend of mine and the state reviewer at the time in<br><br>response to the need to maintain a community of VCD teachers beyond a PD day<br><br>or a conference. Since then around 40 teachers of your subject joined this<br>mailing list.<br><br>   There are many benefits to belonging to a community of colleagues, not<br>least of which is sharing resources, teaching material, exams, SACs and also<br><br>advice on how to interpret the various aspects of the study design.<br><br>  There are many examples of successful mailing lists operating at<br>www.edulists.com.au and these cover over 60 subject and education areas at<br>this point in time. Eg.the IT Applications mailing list
averages around 350<br>messages per month and is a vibrant community of like minded professionals<br>eager to assist, advise or seek assistance. There are even teachers from<br>Broome WA as well as overseas who are on these lists sharing and helping.<br>Just last week I wrote to the itapps list to seek clarification on<br>progression points with VELS reporting and this is my 20th year of teaching.<br><br>I set up the edulists service 12 years ago and despite my experience or<br>otherwise, I desperately needed help with the VELS issue ( it is still not<br>satisfactorily resolved but I am getting closer to a solution ). You can<br>even revisit this thread via the archives or keyword search at the edulists<br>web site if it is of interest.<br><br>To cut a short story long, this list was set up to help VCD teachers to<br>deliver the best outcomes for your students. Part of that service allowed<br>for occasional announcements about PD that may or not be relevant to<br>subscribers. These announcements are made with the understanding that they<br>are on a take it or leave it basis. See www.edulists.com.au and click on<br>List Netiquette if you wish to review what is acceptable and unacceptable<br>behaviour on these lists.<br><br>I am happy to unsubscribe any dissatisfied members of this list and even<br>happier to monitor any breaches of netiquette in the use of these lists. I<br>am even happy to close the list if all 40 teachers on this list feel it is<br>of no benefit to them. In fact the service has been set up to auto subscribe<br><br>and also auto unsubscribe again via the www.edulists.com.au main page<br>through the subscribe and unsubscribe links. The service is designed to<br>empower users to bypass any other person during these decisions although I<br>am happy to help.<br><br>Ultimately, with any community with a common goal , the success or otherwise<br><br>of the venture depends on each member pulling in the same direction. Often,<br>when a bump is struck on that journey it he
lps to hear some positive<br>comments as well and to focus on the benefits.<br><br>Over to you folks<br><br>Kevork Krozian<br>Edulists Creator and Administrator<br>www.edulists.com.au<br>kevork@edulists.com.au<br><br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "susan keech" <suekeech@yahoo.com.au><br>To: "Visual Communication and Design Teachers' Mailing List"<br><vcd@edulists.com.au><br>Sent: Sunday, June 10, 2007 2:24 PM<br>Subject: Re: Visual Communication and Design] free professional development<br><br><br>> sorry<br>> I have NO idea who is the poster (its not me) so I would like to be<br>> deleted too.<br>> I have mailed jane.fisher. hope that works!<br>> kind regards<br>> s.keech<br>><br>> ----- Original Message ----<br>> From: "Grech, Mark A" <grech.mark.a@edumail.vic.gov.au><br>> To: Visual Communication and Design Teachers' Mailing List<br>> <vcd@edulists.com.au><br>> Sent: Sunday, 10 June, 2007 10:40:45 AM<br>> Subject: RE: Visual Communication and Design] free professional<br>> development<br>><br>><br>> Hi<br>> I keep getting emails from you that are not intended for me rather a lot<br>> actually which is becoming a tad annoying<br>> please DELETE me from your mailing list<br>> thanks<br>> mark grech<br>><br>> ________________________________<br>><br>> From: vcd-bounces@edulists.com.au on behalf of nella Zagarella<br>> Sent: Fri 8/06/2007 9:03 AM<br>> To: vcd@edulists.com.au<br>> Subject: Re: Visual Communication and Design] free professional<br>> development<br>><br>><br>><br>><br>><br>><br>><br>> hi jane,<br>> is there a pd available for  photography unit 3/4 VCE Study.<br>> Thanks.<br>> Nella.....or this one seems to be relevant aS WELL.<br>><br>>>>> jane.fischer@rmit.edu.au 06/07/07 4:29 PM >>><br>> Sorry for the cross-post,<br>
