<DIV>Hey, Luke, that is so true.</DIV>
<DIV>This is my fifth year teaching Multimedia (along with having two babies) - and I've nearly been there from the start. I can honestly say that without our multimedia teacher's mailing list, I would have quit teaching multimedia by the end of the first year. Those were the crazy years and I couldn't have done it without this list. The feeling of being supported makes me feel, as you say Luke, remote but not isolated. The closest person who teaches the same subject may over 100km away but help, inspiration and conversation is always just as close as the nearest computer!</DIV>

<DIV>Maybe there is an opportunity here for some online learning to take off where lab3000 finished. The software to enbale this sort of thing is getting better and more widely available - we need to start breaking the tyranny of distance. The need for PD in regional Vic is potentially very large. In my case I am teaching mmedia with very limited experience and both my need and hunger for PD is large. As is often the case in small schools I am not a specialist in this area and my opportunities for PD in Melbourne are very very limited. This list continues to be a great help for getting ideas, support and keeping in touch. </DIV>

<DIV>I totally agree Rod. I'm always feeling like I am on the fringe. It is hard enough to make it to PD sessions in the city. The long distance (Maryborough) and having a young family at home make it virtually impossible to attend anything late mid week. I guess there are a lot of us out here in regional Victoria in the same boat.</DIV>
