Tony Forster and I don't mind coming out to the country to run workshops with GameMaker, Moodle, Linux etc. I think that VITTA would be happy to help coordinate.<br><br>If anybody has any views on this, offer to host the training, things we must think about then drop me a line directly off this list and I will guarantee to pass the details onto our new EO Renee.

<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">There are also schools that are further
out from Melbourne who would be absolutely delighted to host a gathering of
teachers doing PD.</span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Perhaps those schools <b><i><span style="font-weight: bold; font-style: italic;">might</span></i></b> want
someone to come and deliver the PD – a less stressful method and enables the
teachers at that school to also participate…</span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Experience in delivery of IT PD in the country
has shown that even when we go to country the number of teachers who can
actually attend is quite small. It is usually uneconomic if we also have to pay
fro a venue and we have to pay travel for a presenter. Etc.</span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Are we prepared to pay a little more and
get donations of space etc – if so then it could happen …</span></font></p>
<p><font color="navy" face="Arial" size="2"><span style="font-size: 10pt; font-family: Arial; color: navy;">Think about it</span></font></p>

attended the PixelEd Gear Up for 2007 day on Nov 13. On the day it became
apparent that there was a need for some sessions on the basics of Flash,
PhotoShop etc. I've been looking into the possibility of running them
either as part of the PixelEd One Day Conference on Thursday Dec
7th or at a later date. However as part of our agreement with lab3000 we don't
duplicate sessions that they offer, and they are offering basic courses in
these programs in the new year. I can recommend them to you - here is their
program for Term 1 2007:</span></font><span lang="EN-AU"></span></p>
