[Moodle] Thank you!!!!!!!

Thu Dec 7 11:10:44 EST 2006

Thank you all!

It was fantastic to watch  our connected community of ICT educators chat,
toast, laugh. Yes, whilst we could have had a more formal meeting .. for me
it was nice to close the screen of my laptop for once and eat a bowel of
noodles on top of it. With any face to face dinner meeting, fellowship and
laughter are cool tools to cut the ice and spread the news.

More structure? Perhaps next year we could run a workshop after school to
showcase and share exactly what we am doing in the classroom. I am happy to
volunteer our school in Clayton South. Others?

Regards Roland

PS: eeek, reports are due this Friday (puts head back down)
