<div>Maybe he was just being the devils advocate to get people fired up so he would get more emails in his inbox sort through.... ha ha</div>
<div> </div>
<div>I'm not sure he achieved what he really wanted, that being less emails.. ha ha ha bad luck John. BTW all us experienced ITers have set up a rule in our email inbox to divert these emails to a place so that they don't clog up our inbox and we can sift through them at a nicer time. ie. not after holidays.
</div>
<div> </div>
<div>Maybe what we could post is a"how to" on setting up a rule in different email applications</div>
<div> </div>
<div>thanks heaps all, </div>
<div>Go sharing of ideas.. <br><br> </div>

<br>Subject: Re: [Yr7-10it] IPM2007 assistance<br><br>Hear!! Hear!! Keith, Therese, Maggie.<br><br>Haven't we all at some time copied or borrowed ideas and materials from<br>others? Then we have modified it and made it suit our students or purposes.
<br><br>Didn't we borrow ideas of our mentors on teaching rounds and in our early<br>years of teaching.<br><br>Heaven bid, isn't a textbook the work and ideas of someone else who has been<br><br>prepared to distribute their ideas for others to use and share.
<br><br>John, I assume that you therefore don't use a textbook, refer to or use<br>resources on this mailing list and the VITTA website, or use or modify ideas<br><br>presented and distributed at conferences, etc. Also I assume you do not use
<br><br>such references as Mark Kelly's website, wikipedia and howstuffworks.<br><br>We all do it and it is not the right or privilege of "experienced" teachers<br>to copy ideas and materials from others. We are learners and and learning,
<br>sharing ideas, materials and resources for the common good of our students<br>and to encourage and develop the skills of fellow teachers.<br><br>We are so lucky that there are a few teachers (I wont mention names lest I
<br>leave out someone) on the mailing list who are continually prepared to<br>contribute and share their ideas more than most of the rest of us, for which<br><br>the majority are truly grateful.<br><br>Thanks to the mailing list and its many contributors and the authors of our
<br>textbooks over the years I, for one, am better prepared and more able to<br>deliver the ITA, and former IPM, courses without having to go back and<br>reinvent the wheel. I have been able to provide a wider range of<br>
stimulating materials to my classes than I would have done on my own.<br><br>I am also one who has not contributed as much as many others, however, I am<br>sure the many contributors don't think any less of me and others in this
<br>category, ([Though we should contribute when we can) because they all share<br>for the common good of providing for the the eduction of all students, not<br>just their own.<br><br>So Vinod, and any other first year IT teachers, welcome to the list and we
<br>encourage you to keep seeking assistance from fellow colleagues and may you<br>have success with your class during the year.<br><br>Geoff Moss<br>RMIT<br><br>----- Original Message -----<br>From: "Keith Richardson" <
