[Year 12 SofDev] VITTA PD 2008 - PHP & MySQL - Registrationsnow open

[Robert Hind]

Good on you Judee!

I am now down in "The Big Smoke", since 2005, but spent the previous 27 
years in the Valley. And always the same problems with PD - in all areas not 
just IT.

A two hour session in Melbourne means, for a Valley person, at least four 
hours driving plus the session time. Given a 4:00pm start the teacher will 
also have to take the afternoon off to drive down in time. And then of 
course does not get back home til 8:00pm or later

So given these 5-session programs, this means that to receive 10 hours of PD 
on PHP and MySQL the Valley person will have to also invest in at least 20 
hours of driving and be released from school on five afternoons. Also of 
course cost concerns re car usage.

Not the way to go!

How about more on-line PD or other more innovative strategies to bring the 
PD to our "country cousins"
