<DIV dir=ltr><FONT face="Times New Roman" color=#800040 size=2>This looks
fantastic Con. Can we put it on the school intranet so all staff from
different KLAs can have a look at it and perhaps suggest software for their
KLAs that they would like installed on the system for next year? It will
save printing out 78 pages and trying to pass it around to
staff.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2></FONT> </DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT color=#800040 size=2>Just a couple of ommissions - I did
not notice GameMaker (Game design/programming software), Free Mind (for mind
mapping) or Irfan View which are 3 apps we have/will have on our
computers. GamaMaker used in Year 9 elective called "GameMaker", Irfan View
is used widely throughout the school but also specifically for Year 12 IPM
and Free Mind we will install next year - great for staff and students for
Mind Mapping</FONT></DIV>
