[Year 12 IT Apps] Brilliant VITTA conference - congratulations to all who worked on this outstanding event

[Allan Barnes]

Just to add to this, we often make light of these lists and the VITTA
conference. I work across a number of areas, IT is just one of them, and I
can say with all honesty that every other teacher out there who is not an IT
teacher but knows of these lists and the VITTA conference are very jealous.

While we are thanking people, a huge thank you to Kevork and the list
administrators for all of their effort yet again this year. 

While perhaps the venue was not the best we have seen, certainly the
administration and organisation behind it by VITTA was first class.
  


Kind regards

Hi Folks,

  Sorry to lumber you with cross posts BUT ...

I think we can agree the VITTA conference was fantastic with an amazing
professional setup, excellent organisation, a diverse number of speakers,
subjects and ideas to inspire, take back to our schools and use to improve
our teaching.

On behalf of everyone there my thanks to the VITTA committee, the EO Renee ,
Adrian , Phil , Antonia , Denise, Roland , Ros, Lisa, Mia, and the list just
goes on and on and I will apologise for not naming all the others but you
know who you are.

 For the majority who attend. walk in,  sample the offerings, and walk out,
the effort that goes behind the scenes into this type of event may not be so
obvious. How many for example, know that Phil was at the airport at 4 am or
thereabouts to pick up the keynote Derek Robertson who came from Scotland
especially for the conference ? and others gave up their weekends and time
to help make Derek as comfortable as possible for the 2 weeks or so he was
here.  These folks are teachers just like the rest of us with marking,
reports to write and families to look after. 

 Consider also that Roland packed up and shipped a whole lab of PCs from his
school  ( that he had to then take back and reimage, reinstall ) to help
deliver a few hands on sessions just to make it a little more meaningful for
all attending. He could have demonstrated Scratch and Python on his laptop ,
but he wanted to " make a difference " as he often describes in an almost
throw away fashion his legendary work ethic.  


 For all you workers behind the scenes and all the attention you paid to
every little detail such as the reaction of a delegate at a particular
moment to a simple detail like the agenda for one event or session, and how
you may have taken things to heart, a sincere thank you for all your
efforts.


  It makes me proud to say I work with and belong to such a dynamic,
professional fraternity ( and sorority ) of wonderful teachers and fabulous
human beings. 



Signing off from this great love in

Warm Regards
