[vet-mm] RE: Training/PD for country teachers

[Tinkler, Jacquie J]

This issue is perennial...even if there are sessions offered in the next
town or regional centre there is often a lot of travel involved. And
personally, I would rather spend a couple of hours or more going to
Melbourne than another town - I can get other things done if I take a
trip to the big smoke. For me the big issue is cost of
travelling...wherever you end up travelling to... and who pays! 

 

And as much as I lerrrve computers, I hate online training! Love to be
with people! (And then talk about computers! :-)) 

 

Cheers, 

 

Jacq.

In this day and age we shouldn't let distance get in the way of
training, but I totally understand the situation of our country
colleagues.

Perhaps we could have some networking groups set up to provide hands on
support. Or we could set up some time for online training....

There are web gurus out there who would be able to set up some form of
sharing session where specific skills are focussed on.

Just some thoughts

As a staffer in the country, it concerns me that there is a distinct
lack of training that is not Melbourne based. I think this is going to
alienate those of us teaching in country schools wrt specific skills
training and miss some key networking opportunities.

I wonder what the thoughts of other list participants are on this
issue...

Subject: [vet-mm] follow up to Gear Up day

Hello to everyone who attended the PixelEd Gear Up for 2007 day on Nov
13. On the day it became apparent that there was a need for some
sessions on the basics of Flash,  PhotoShop etc. I've been looking into
the possibility of running them either as part of the  PixelEd One Day
Conference on  Thursday Dec 7th or at a later date. However as part of
our agreement with lab3000 we don't duplicate sessions that they offer,
and they are offering basic courses in these programs in the new year. I
can recommend them to you - here is their program for Term 1 2007:
