using the regional offices, but hit some brick walls. So – yes definitely – let’s
give it a shot! I would be interested in hearing from anyone in some of the
key regional centres also interested in setting something like this up at their

<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";
color:black'>Hey Adrian, here's a thought..and its indirectly curriculum
driven..</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>How
about a virtual PD session including camera, voice and file downloads as means
of the presentation. Basically, a teleconference of sorts but the camera angles
are wide enough to incorporate say, a room of participants. Granted, some
time delay will likely occur of the presenter and the audience but could this
be the ultimate with virtual collaboration. </span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>If
someone with the right experience was able to assist, I am prepared to perhaps
negotiate with my principal to be a venue for such an event here in the
Wimmera.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>What
say VITTA, could we do it?? Is it practical..I reckon yes..cost, perhaps with
cameras and phone/internet link and projector with suitable microphones, it
could be kept cheap with the right offers of help. Timing? Perhaps early term
2ish ? Topics to cover...obviously virtual collaboration should be top of
list..der..but what about how different people are handling the outcomes..</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>This
would be a very sensory display, including most of the media forms. However,
this would need to be limited in numbers as only so many can fit into a
classroom size environment with cameras, lights etc also in it. Also it would
be better to do it during cooler weather for many reasons.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Venues
with cameras and sending/receiving equipment and mic's etc at perhaps 4
venues..one in each of the Northern, Western(me), Eastern(eg Warrigal or say,
Bairnsdale etc) and you guys in the City as the 4th and each of us has a link.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
</div>
<div>
<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif"'>Yes
it will be tricky to do and I have never done this before but what's to
lose? Think of it as a world first! A teachers teleconference on virtual
collaboration. Perhaps some commercial sponsors would be interested here to
promote their product that could do this? </span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>In response to some of our posts about the PD sessions
that we will be running early in Term 1, there have been a number of enquiries
regarding regional PD. I wanted to say that we have not forgotten about
the regions – our posts regarding the Term 1, 2008 PD sessions at this stage
have been based on the larger events that we know we will be running.
Actually most of our planning for PD will take place at our planning weekend
early Feb.</span><o:p></o:p></p>

<p class=MsoNormal><span style='font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Calibri","sans-serif";
color:#1F497D'>We will do what we can to support those in the regions with good
PD – we understand that it can be very difficult to get into Melbourne (as well
as expensive) and schools are not always willing to accommodate your
requests. We will release some dates and session details early in Term 1
– so look out for them via the lists.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
