[Year 12 IT Apps] Announcing acarait.com

[Roland Gesthuizen]

ACE isnt entirerly a bad idea, so long as we can build in sufficient scope
for local adaptation and inovation.

I can imagine us moving towards this model but not for the reasons that
some might think, With open education and the public examination of all our
curriculum plans and documents, we are in a position to better see what
other states are doing. With transparency we can expect a greater
examination and reflection about differences between Autralian states. Bolt
on some good consultation to generate dialogue and discussions about what
we are trying to do and then the gears may start turning. The challenge for
us all is to keep decisions based on evidence and good research.

I can read on a screen without my glasess but even now, am reaching the
limit of my arms and desk.

Regards Roland
