Thanks Kent, sounds good.<br><br>Actually it is as easy as a phone call to the subject association EO to discuss what the needs are. They are often best placed to help out, identify the resources needed or at least know who to ask.
<br><br>I will pass on your notes below but give them a call to get the ball rolling. :-)<br><br>Regards Roland<br><br><div><span class="gmail_quote">On 30/11/06, <b class="gmail_sendername">Beveridge, Kent T</b> <<a href="mailto:beveridge.kent.t@edumail.vic.gov.au">

<br>time to handpass to you listers and see what happens...<br><br>If possible perhaps VITTA could organize a 'travelling roadshow' of committed and appropriately skilled staff to be part of a roster(schedule) to deliver PD of software to country schools.
<br>How do we know what schools want?<br>Can I suggest we set up a database that would include different software, who is prepared to deliver it and what times they may be able to deliver it. As for location and hardware, perhaps IT teachers, dept heads etc could look at their needs and suggest to their timetablers when would suit that a visiting presenter(teacher of the software) give a presentation?
<br>With these 2 pieces of data, they could be compared and viola.. person X can present software Y at location Z on date dd/mm/yyyy?<br>Just don't mention the d$$$(ollars) word.<br><br>By the way, this is by no means expected of VITTA and would by very much appreciated - I'm sure - by whoever can deliver this material to us pleb, non-nerdy, doin' fine types....
