[vet-mm] Remote but not isolated

Sat Jul 26 22:38:28 EST 2008

Hey, Luke, that is so true.
This is my fifth year teaching Multimedia (along with having two
babies) - and I've nearly been there from the start. I can honestly say
that without our multimedia teacher's mailing list, I would have quit
teaching multimedia by the end of the first year. Those were the crazy
years and I couldn't have done it without this list. The feeling of
being supported makes me feel, as you say Luke, remote but not isolated.
The closest person who teaches the same subject may over 100km away but
help, inspiration and conversation is always just as close as the
nearest computer!

Maybe there is an opportunity here for some online learning to take off
where lab3000 finished. The software to enbale this sort of thing is
getting better and more widely available - we need to start breaking the
tyranny of distance. The need for PD in regional Vic is potentially very
large. In my case I am teaching mmedia with very limited experience and
both my need and hunger for PD is large. As is often the case in small
schools I am not a specialist in this area and my opportunities for PD
in Melbourne are very very limited. This list continues to be a great
help for getting ideas, support and keeping in touch.

I totally agree Rod. I'm always feeling like I am on the fringe. It is
hard enough to make it to PD sessions in the city. The long distance
(Maryborough) and having a young family at home make it virtually
impossible to attend anything late mid week. I guess there are a lot of
us out here in regional Victoria in the same boat.

Alas, the regional country folk are again excluded because of the
timing -A 
Tuesday July 29th - makes it more than onerous for any paractical
attempt or 
desire to attend. Travelling 350km on way means this is a night for the
city 
folk.
