<DIV>Dear all,</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Could it be possible to organise a PD on possible 3 main used and successful electronic reporting software for people like myself who are looking into setting up a system for a school that is still so young and underdeveloped technologically, if you know what I mean.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>As I read all these correspondents, I feel like an inferior as everything that is being mentioned is alien to me, apart from some minor info.</DIV> <DIV>Im sure there are many other schools like ours. A PD of demonstrations of setting up electronic reporting systems of the most popular softwarE WOULD BE OF UTMOST IMPORTANCE to people like myself.</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Anyone that could help please dont hesitate to email me.</DIV> <DIV>Thankyou all</DIV> <DIV> </DIV> <DIV>Aksen<BR><BR><B><I>Dr Paul Chandler <paul.chandler@yvg.vic.edu.au></I></B> wrote:</DIV> <BLOCKQUOTE class=replbq
