RE: [Year 12 IT Apps] IT Lecture NotesI agree totally - as a new teacher of=
 IPM 3 yrs ago, mark's material was invaluable

there must be a simple solution to our problem, like a password protected mo=
odle, that will abide by the law

  I think its kind of ironic really, the emphasis in the new study design is=
 all about collaborative sharing of knowledge and resources.  Sad that they=
 can't practice what they preach.  

  It would be good if EVERYONE who subscribes to this list showed their supp=
ort of mark's fantastic work over the years.  I for one am truly greatful fo=
r all the great resources he has put together, including the "illegal" post=
 mortem.

  Keep up the good work

  I am just catching up with this thread ... what can I say - absolute
  bullshit.

  We use the technology to COLLABORATE and to enrich the learning of the
  collective group, and the reward is a slap in the face.

  Does this "copyright" decision have ramifications for anyone presenting at
  conferences or PD events?

  Mark, a big thankyou from the IT Teaching community, your efforts have
  been appreciated by teachers and students alike.

  Grrr
