[English] fwd: Emerging Technologies, Evolving Pedagogies PD

[Amanda McGraw]

HI Terry,
How are you and what are you up to?
Interested in visiting Ballarat some time during the year?
I'm back into the world of English - which has been great.  Am taking the Eng method unit.  Perhaps I could organise an excursion to the VATE office for my students and you could come and meet them there.  I'd love it if you could talk with them about some of the current issues in English.  What do you think?
