Hey, guys, I am just the messenger...dont shoot me!
If its a hoax then great, no-one gets hurt...if not, then just being aware of it might help just one person and then its worth it!
Now .... get back to that lesson prep that you've put off all holidays..
Also, those ads on TV (2 principals and a teacher) about vic teachers and their pay...now there's an interesting point.
And Balwyn High is a select entry school too now I hear,(wasnt when me and my sisters went there) yet they still dont pay that staffer any extra than the 65k. Makes ya wonder about the 'value' of teachers eh? Obviously performance pay isnt happening there!

I just received from a colleague a message about a virus that may circulate shortly. It is about a POSTCARD and is along the lines of 'you have just received a POSTCARD ' from whoever..
Apparently this is a nasty piece of work that, when opened, will burn your hard drive (now to what extent and where it is sent I do not know).
Advise all who get this 'postcard' to delete WITHOUT OPENING.
You have been warned!
Pass this info on to your contacts.
This info has come from a trusted source.

Podcast?
Can I ask which rural schools have been 'invited' to trial it? I would welcome being 'asked'.
My VITTA membership I am guessing isnt current for 2008...the 'co-ordinator' here is all Science oriented and hasnt even asked about renewal for 2008...makes you wonder sometimes why we bother even having merged department 'heads'. (its a budget thing!)
I personally would have renewed back in Feb, but since individual membership fees are so high and the PD service to rural is so far, not good, I am only prepared to let my school pay for a school membership..but they havent even asked about that yet! We have a common problem at my work...'too many wannabe chiefs' spoiling it for us indians!

Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] VITTA PD announcement
Hi everyone (and apologies for the cross posts),
The upcoming VITTA PD titled 'VCE and VET IT Exam Preparation for Teachers'
was to be held at Melbourne High School on the 17th April - however, some of the details of this event have changed.
I am pleased to announce that the event will now be moved to the Swinburne University Hawthorn Campus (which is not very far from Melbourne High School) and the event will now be Internet podcast for teachers in rural areas (or those that cannot attend).
As many of you know, there has been some debate about the use of these technologies recently - and VITTA is in the process of evaluating a few proposals and trialling technologies as we speak. We have also applied for some significant funding so that we might be able to establish some technologies permanently that will be used to build upon and enrich the VITTA resource bank - as well as provide on-line access to all PDs for those in regional and rural Victoria and inter-state. I want to assure you all that we are in fact working on this issue - but I know that for many of you, 'soon' is not soon enough.
The timeline for the PD day remains the same: being -
4:15pm - Registration and refreshments
4:45pm - Concurrent Sessions (Choose one)
1) ITA Applications (Claudia Graham, Chief Assessor)
2) VET IT (Kevork Krozian, Forest Hill College)
5:45pm - Changeover
6:00pm - Software Development (Claudia Graham)
7:00pm - Close
A revised pricing structure will be available shortly.
Thank-you to Swinburne University and in particular, Robert Mercer, who has initiated this generous offer to VITTA - and hence to VITTA members. If this session and the technologies prove to be successful - we may choose to move in this direction in the longer term.
In regards to the PD session that will be held on the 9th April 'Supporting Virtual Teams Through Technology' (http://www.vitta.org.au/calendar/?day=09&month=04&year=2008&event=465)
This session was one in which we were opportunistic as we received news of a exciting speaker (in Michael Sampson from NZ) who would only be available at this time. We have not had the time to make this event available on-line, but will create a DVD of the presentation and make these materials available to all VITTA members.
Cheers,
Adrian Janson
VITTA President
