[Yr7-10it] 7-10 ICT VELS at the VITTA conf

[Donna Benjamin]

OOps - my bad - Sorry Bill.  No - it's not directly about either of
those things - but I did think it was relevant to Yr 7-10 IT.

Now that Alan Kay has picked up where Seymour Papert left off in the
OLPC project - I thought it would be interesting to hear more about Alan
Kay and his approach to educational technology.

Looking forward to seeing you at the conference Bill - and thanks for
making the trek to Vic to participate!
