Hi All,<br><br>
I tend to think that the list should not be a service for advertising
products directly....<br><br>
Sure list members can tout them but I don't see the point in letting
direct advertising by companies that are only adding to the list for
commercial gain.<br><br>
This can be a fine point to argue and as such I take the view all or
none, either let it in or don't. Who is to decide 'limited' ???<br><br>
I'm already bombarded with enough “limited” infomercials
already.<br><br>
I joined the list to discussed issues with my peers only and not to
receive “limited” infomercials.<br><br>
Lastly, as this is the "VET Multimedia Teachers' Mailing
List"', I would take it is up to the association's leadership
to make a ruling and that Kevork's own opinion in this matter (be it by a
third party) is not relevant.<br><br>
Cheers<br>
Paul <br><br>

I think that you will find that Kevork will defend Tootega’s right to
“limited” infomercials.<br>
<br>
I see vendors as an integral part of the education community.
<br>
<br>
Information pertaining to “new” services should not be shunned but
welcomed in this “open, public” forum. <br>
<br>
As Ivy stated in her email, Tootega “…was established to provide
assistance to schools” and “Our organization has been formed to
specifically assist teachers across all KLAs.”<br>
<br>
I can’t see anything wrong with that.<br>

</font><font face="arial" size=2>I'm not the advertising police of our

<dd>Dear VET Multimedia Members,
<dd>
<dd>As a member of this mailing list, I’m thrilled to continuously
receive emails and announcements. It is also exciting for me to be
part of a community that is extremely enthusiastic in the use
<font face="arial" size=2 color="#000080">of </font>multimedia in the
classroom. After being part of this mailing list for a while, I
just wanted to inform you of a recently established organization.
Let me introduce you to<font face="arial" size=2 color="#000080">
</font>Tootega Creative Learning, an organization established to provide
assistance to schools in the integration of technologies in the
classroom. As the founder of this organization, I’ve been fortunate
to have worked with various schools in the past, and thanks to their
feedback and suggestions, Tootega Creative Learning has been formed to do
its best to cater to the needs of schools across Australia.
<dd>
<dd>I would hope that by introducing this organization through this
mailing list, I’ve provided you with an extra avenue to seek for
assistance on any aspects of ICT in Education. Our organization has
been formed to specifically assist teachers across all KLAs. We are
always open to receive any feedback and suggestions on how we can further
improve our services to suit educators across Australia.
<dd>
<dd>I’ve been working with schools for the
<font face="arial" size=2 color="#000080">p</font>ast five years in
various areas, and most recently showing teachers how to best incorporate
Video Projects and Multimedia as small units of work in the classroom
(All KLA). Some of you may have attended my presentations at VITTA
conference 2004 ‘Camera, Action, Cut!’. I don’t believe in using
technologies for the sake of using it, but realize that to use it
effectively, it can be time consuming to just learn about the
tools. Therefore, all the<font face="arial" size=2 color="#000080">
</font>courses and materials have been
designed<font face="arial" size=2 color="#000080"> </font>such that staff
will learn relevant skills efficiently and receive ideas on
the<font face="arial" size=2 color="#000080"> </font>most effective ways
to apply use in the classroom.
<dd>
<dd>We provide various different services ranging from Curriculum
Development through to In-House Training for your teaching staff
members. If you<font face="arial" size=2 color="#000080">

classroom. To encourage schools to release staff for further
development, I would like to offer your school the following:
