Perhaps one of the early sessions can be recorded and streamed through the online teacher PD network... <br><br><a href="http://www.education.vic.gov.au/researchinnovation/virtualconferencecentre/program">http://www.education.vic.gov.au/researchinnovation/virtualconferencecentre/program</a> ?<br>
<br>It would lack the social networking, but it's better than an 8 hour drive, or no information at all... <br><br>It would be nice of the IT kingdom to lead the way forward for other VCAA learning areas ;-)<br><br>

<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Dear
colleagues</span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">I
am very concerned at the relatively low number of people in some regions who
have registered to attend an Implementation workshop for the revised VCE IT
study. These workshops are a wonderful opportunity to hear experts talk about
the study design, to ask questions and to network with colleagues. </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;"> </span></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><span style="font-size: 10pt;">Please
visit the VITTA website for details of venues and dates, and if you are
intending to participate, please register now rather than waiting until the
last minute. I know that people are very busy at this time of year, but earlier
rather than later registrations would be appreciated.</span></p>
