Subject: [Yr7-10it] VITTA Annual Conference - thanks!

Hi everyone (and apologies for the cross-posts),

Thank-you to everyone that attended the VITTA conference!  I hope you all had a productive and inspirational time!  It was great to talk to many of you (and in some cases - put faces to the names and emails!)

It takes a great deal of work putting together a conference of this size and quality.  We set out to source the best keynote speakers that we could - and having someone like Prof. Stephen Heppell - a key international educationalist, was something that we were quite proud of.

We have 'vodcasted' all of the keynotes and will be making these available, as well as all of the presentations, via the VITTA web-site very shortly (I notice that material is beginning to be uploaded as I 'speak' / type)

Once again, I would like to publicly thank the VITTA Conference Committee: Val Lewis, Denise Mendham, Lynda Rosman, Cate Hickey, Kelly Beattie and Phil Callil.  

Working hard behind the scenes, the following staff from the VITTA office: Lisa Chadderton, Caroline Bailey and Judy Thompson.  Thank-you also to Peter Lieverdink, Gavin Ballard and the technical team, and all the VITTA helpers.  Special mention needs to go to both Donna Benjamin (Conference Coordinator) and Renee Hoareau (Executive Officer).  

I have uploaded my President's Report from the VITTA AGM to this location on the VITTA web-site.

I am keen to receive any suggestions or comments about the conference so that we can improve the event or add to its value.  So please feel free to email me (either via the lists - or personally - might be better) and I will take your suggestions to the conference committee.  

Have a good Christmas break - see you all in 2008!

Cheers and all the best,

Adrian
