Just like to also say a BIG thank you to Mark. Your VCEIT website and
your contributions on Edulists has made my first experience of teaching
Year 11 IT and Year 12 ITAPPS a very pleasant and rewarding one. Please
note that due to your fantastic resources and knowledge of the
curriculum, my Year 12's received outstanding results, and in my first
year teaching the subject... I couldn't be happier! Best wishes for the
future!!

Golly. This is like watching one's own funeral ceremony, with special
interest from those at the back who turned up just to make sure I was
really dead. :-)
Yes, folks, at 55 I have had enough of ethos, powerful learning, E5,
VELS, Australian Curriculum, immersion, curriculum review, "making a
profound difference in the precious lives of each and every student we
have the honour to teach", being accountable, jumping at the sound of
bells like a champion Pavlovian stunt dog, attending hour-long meetings
that could have been replaced by a one-paragraph email, dealing with
adolescent bush-lawyers who know only their rights and not their
responsibilities, settling disputes about which year 7 took something
from another year 7's pencil case, marking endless SACs, and driving to
and from work with the headlights on during cold, wet winters .
Ah, the memories.
I will now have time to do stuff like writing "Buckets of Knowledge" for
ITA and SD (focusing on the tricky bits that everyone gets confused
about), and a Jumbo Collection of multchoice questions, perhaps as an
app.
And for years I've been planning on converting vceit.com from static
HTML to CMS... now I have time to choose a platform (perhaps Joomla or
Wordpress
- whichever is easier to convert to.) And learn MySQL.
And I want to play with Python on my Raspberry Pi... which sounds pretty
odd, if you don't know them both.
And if, on a Wednesday night at 10pm I suddenly get a craving to
re-watch an entire season of 'Breaking Bad' just so I can work out if
Walter actually poisoned Brock with ricin - I WILL. 'Cos I CAN. The
thrill may wear off after a while, so then I'll satisfy my lifetime
desire to get a part-time job at a hardware store selling hammers.
Nothing else: just hammers. Sweet.
But most of all while in my Gentleman Of Leisure mode, I will be
strolling down the sand at Bonbeach in the sun thinking kindly of you
all sculling your coffee, grabbing your laptops and whiteboard markers
and running off to double year 10 while you KNOW that it's a beautiful
day outside and that at least one person is CERTAINLY strolling down the
sand at Bonbeach thinking of you.
I do thank Kevork for his gracious message and noble sentiments. He
really is one of the nicest people in The Real World (TM) as well as the
IT community.
Have a rich and rewarding year, everyone!
Regards,
Mark K

I just want to say Thanks Mark for the VCEIt website. It really helped
me a lot when i first started teaching VCE IT in 2009-2012. Although I
wont be teaching IT this year because I chose not to and do Psyche
instead (IT is still the coolest subject), I always tell new teachers of
IT to use the VCE.IT website to assist you in your planning and
teaching... Kudos and thank you

Yes Mark, let me join the chorus of grateful ITA and SD teachers who
have found your site and contributions invaluable. Your generous spirit
will hopefully set the benchmark for many to follow in your footsteps.
Best wishes for the next stage of your life.
