[Year 12 IT Apps] VITTA VCE PD day

Sun Mar 4 23:46:45 EST 2007

This is the second time somebody is asking this from a country school. A
fortnight ago I ran a workshop for some teachers in Bendigo and this issue
really sank in.

If any regional IT teachers are feeling brave, I am willing to have a stab
at organizing and helping run a VITTA PD one evening or after school using
some of these new cool tools, mirroring what we have done with Melbourne
based courses using GameMaker for programing etc. Please post me your name /
school to my off list alias rge(at)westallsc.vic.edu.au so that I can gauge
the level of interest and follow this up with the VITTA COM for you.  :-)

What do you reckon Ian and David?

Regards Roland
