<P class=MsoNormal>Dear VCE teachers<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>I am working with a group for the Department of Education on designing course materials for Years 11 and 12 VCE English for State School Teachers. We are also working on a site on the Ultranet for teachers new to VCE English. This site will provide excellent materials for teachers; provide opportunities for them to ask questions of experienced VCE teachers; participate in a forum with other teachers; and opportunities to access virtual discussions/lectures on aspects of the course. We are also hopeful that there could be a forum on it for collaborative research for VIT projects. We would like to have about 30 teachers from state schools ,who are presently teaching VCE, who would be willing to trial and help us to build the site so it will be helpful for teachers. Participation will count towards professional development time and will, I think, be most interesting. If you are a CRT teacher you are welcome to join as well. I know it is difficult sometimes for you to pick up professional development hours. Please contact me directly on my email: mary.mason@bigpond.com if you are able to participate. The trial will be in Term 3 and will involve you logging into the site, participating in some of the forums, and feeding back to us your comments.<o:p></o:p></P>
