Yes, it's still updating - I'll email as soon as it's back on. It's slower

Subject: [Year 12 IT Apps] RIP Rural Rescue Flights...


Considering the current thread about writing and posting your own SACS, it
is my sad duty to inform those on the list of the passing of the RRF SAC, it
served well and has been the launchpad for many to use as an outcome but,
unfortunately, the time has come to retire it and to produce a new, exciting
SAC1 for the 2009 year. 
Being the creator of the original version, it is due time to retire RRF and
move on.
RIP RRF! 
 
Whats the new model? Who knows...even I dont know what I will conjure up
just yet...
Stay tuned listers!

Hi Margaret,
The upside is that you may get some constructive criticism and be able to
improve your SAC for the following year. I for one would love to
congratulate you just for having the guts to create your own SAC, this is
admirable!!! I am sure you will soon become a teacher we can all look up to
if you are prepared to create your own SACs in your first year of teaching!!

Good luck

Thank you for the advice.  



I am hesitant in posting to the VITTA site as there is always that

voice saying "is it good enough".  As a first year teacher here in

Australia (I am a Scottish teacher) I have been learning the course as I

am teaching it.  I do not feel confident enough to post it on such a

credible site.  Sending it through the email systems seems less

intimidating for me.



In future I can just send directly to teachers to overcome this

problem.



Thanks again

Hi all

Is one potential solution for sensitive materials to publish a note

like

"I have a really good sample SAC some of you might like to use. 

Please

email me off list if you would like a copy."

I realise the obvious issue with this is the possibility of 100 emails

that then land in your inbox requesting the file.

Just a suggestion....

Hi Margaret and Maggie,



    Thanks for raising this issue as it is one that plays on the minds

of the teachers and may inhibit participation by some.

The issue with exams and other attachments is that they can be sent

directly to myself or posted on the VITTA web site which is only for

members, most if not all are teachers as far as I am aware. My email

is

on the edulists site and for the record is kevork at edulists.com.au. 

    Once again, if we are sharing resources we should always modify

them

out of professional duty of care, though I can hear some saying why

spoil a good thing if it is already just like you want it. 

    It comes down to cost/benefit of any decision or system we build

or

use.  I can only wish my students would join edulists, monitor

discussions and trawl all attachments as revision for upcoming

assessment tasks. Sadly, even with customised revision folders for

each

student containing several past exams I still find them left behind in

the room or forgotten at home. 

    We could modify the mailing lists to automatically harvest

attachments, post them to the web site and require a password to

download them but not all attachments are necessarily final exams or

other assessment materials. Is it worth the effort ? 

    I do hear what you say Margaret and as a compromise to retain open

access,  it is just a matter of using the resources slightly

differently

even if they are posted as attachments.

    

    Happy to continue this discussion.



Kind Regards

That particular concern has been with us all the years edulists have

been running and I reckon all teachers share that concern. I post my

exams and other assessment items to the VITTA site which needs login

credentials to view and download. Also, Kevork has posted all such

items, by the writer's request, to a password-protected section of his

website.

My concern is that we can pass work through this system.  For example

I

sent an exam earlier in the year that could have been used by some

schools.  Is it a good idea to have students access these attachments?



Just a concern.

I agree with the others .. keep it open. This is a public list for

educators and soap box for some. If it isnt worth saying on the front

page of The Age, it probably isnt worth saying. I reckon that most of

us

would rather be caught out asking a question from erstwhile and

esteemed

colleagues than not ask and play the ignorant fool.

I must agree with Kevork. I would regard my students as partners in 

learning, and if they stumble across a resource like this and can

    

use

it,

  

all the better.

learning

Thanks Margaret,



We do tend to overlook some things.



We have two choices on this security issue -



either



we need to restrict access to the list messages to authorised list

    

members

  

-

don't ask me how, I'm not a security expert.



or



we must be careful what we say, so that students or other

    

"non-members" of

  

the list cannot gain any "useful" or personal infomation that we do

    

not

  

want

them to have.



Answer?



What do we want? And what is actually possible?



One of the joys of the Internet, and also one of the biggest

    

problems, is

  

the open access of information to all of us.



Where do these lists need to go?

Can I just bring to attention to the moderator that these emails

      

can be

  

accessed by students.  One of my students did a google search and

      

was

  

able to bring up an email using my name and edulist.



How can we secure these emails?

I would like to add my congratulations to the organisers and the many

volunteers at Go Girl, Go for IT held at Deakin Uni. My students had a

great day and were impressed by the variety and calibre of the

speakers.
