[Year 12 IT Apps] Thanks to some amazing people

Tue Nov 16 09:48:02 EST 2010

Kevork thank you for putting into words what most of us were thinking
but my not have had the time, what with Exam marking, report writing,
curriculum documentation (again !!) oh and of course teaching, thanks
for taking the time to write to Paula and Mark on our behalf, the
contributions they and others have made certainly make life easier and
at times give sanity to the rest of our little community.

Dear IT Apps community,

 I just want to recognise a few amazing people in our virtual community.
In singling out a few here, let me say every contributor is amazing for
the part each plays is each discussion.  The lurkers .... well they are
best addressed in another message ....

 First and foremost our online community would not be anything like it
is without Paula's presence. 

It is a testament to her, that she sticks her neck out and is
accountable all year round, and come to think of it over the past dozen
or so years,  purely in the pursuit of supporting teachers and doing the
best for the students.

To produce a study design, put out advice, interpret every permutation
and keep the community and everyone else together as she does is just
amazing. She is a ready target for any and every frustration , yet she
is still here, clarifying , helping, supporting. How lucky are we ???

She has to deal with criticisms ( some of which are not based on fact )
and she keeps the professional approach with the utmost courtesy.

No, I am not asking Paula for a pay rise or any favours but it is
important that this be stated and everyone understands what a difference
it makes to have her presence during our discussions.

The second person is Mark Kelly. Tireless and professional, funny and
serious, an expert but always willing to learn and it goes on. His
vceit.com site is a lifeline for so many teachers and we always thank
him again at this time of year for his coronial enquiries into the exams
that make for an amazing learning activity as well as an opportunity to
communicate, inform, discuss and even vent.

So Mark we are all in your debt. I think there may be several of these
thank you messages in the archives but it does not diminish what we all
think of you.

Love is all around .....
