Thank you for the advice.
I am hesitant in posting to the VITTA site as there is always that
voice saying "is it good enough". As a first year teacher here in
Australia (I am a Scottish teacher) I have been learning the course as I
am teaching it. I do not feel confident enough to post it on such a
credible site. Sending it through the email systems seems less
intimidating for me.
In future I can just send directly to teachers to overcome this
problem.
Thanks again

Hi all
Is one potential solution for sensitive materials to publish a note
like
"I have a really good sample SAC some of you might like to use.
Please
email me off list if you would like a copy."
I realise the obvious issue with this is the possibility of 100 emails
that then land in your inbox requesting the file.
Just a suggestion....

Hi Margaret and Maggie,
Thanks for raising this issue as it is one that plays on the minds
of the teachers and may inhibit participation by some.
The issue with exams and other attachments is that they can be sent
directly to myself or posted on the VITTA web site which is only for
members, most if not all are teachers as far as I am aware. My email
is
on the edulists site and for the record is kevork at edulists.com.au.
Once again, if we are sharing resources we should always modify
them
out of professional duty of care, though I can hear some saying why
spoil a good thing if it is already just like you want it.
It comes down to cost/benefit of any decision or system we build
or
use. I can only wish my students would join edulists, monitor
discussions and trawl all attachments as revision for upcoming
assessment tasks. Sadly, even with customised revision folders for
each
student containing several past exams I still find them left behind in
the room or forgotten at home.
We could modify the mailing lists to automatically harvest
attachments, post them to the web site and require a password to
download them but not all attachments are necessarily final exams or
other assessment materials. Is it worth the effort ?
I do hear what you say Margaret and as a compromise to retain open
access, it is just a matter of using the resources slightly
differently
even if they are posted as attachments.
Happy to continue this discussion.
Kind Regards

That particular concern has been with us all the years edulists have
been running and I reckon all teachers share that concern. I post my
exams and other assessment items to the VITTA site which needs login
credentials to view and download. Also, Kevork has posted all such
items, by the writer's request, to a password-protected section of his
website.

My concern is that we can pass work through this system. For example
I
sent an exam earlier in the year that could have been used by some
schools. Is it a good idea to have students access these attachments?
Just a concern.

I agree with the others .. keep it open. This is a public list for
educators and soap box for some. If it isnt worth saying on the front
page of The Age, it probably isnt worth saying. I reckon that most of
us
would rather be caught out asking a question from erstwhile and
esteemed
colleagues than not ask and play the ignorant fool.

I would like to add my congratulations to the organisers and the many
volunteers at Go Girl, Go for IT held at Deakin Uni. My students had a
great day and were impressed by the variety and calibre of the
speakers.
