Dear Everyone

 

  With Paula’s retirement on our minds for most of this term, I wanted to express my thanks for all she has done for all of us in the IT community. 

 

  I have been privileged to work with Paula to support teachers and students in the delivery of the highest quality curriculum in Information Technology, Digital Technologies, Algorithmics and associated studies in the secondary school system since the early 1990s.

 

I have also operated a number of online communities since 1996 supporting teachers with their professional needs ( http://www.edulists.com.au​ ) . The teacher membership on these communities has been over a few thousand individuals over time. Paula’s presence on Edulists has made all of our lives so much easier as teachers. We are all grateful that she embraced and used the technology from the earliest days.

 

At all times Paula has made herself available during or outside working hours, to answer questions, provide clarification, offer resources and material to make the role of teachers as effective and as professional as possible. She has always lifted those who were down, eloquently resolved any misunderstandings or frustrations calmly and professionally be that between individuals, groups or organisations.

 

Paula has been respected universally within and beyond the Information Technology teaching fraternity as one who is fair minded, even tempered, judicious, respectful and above all supportive of her colleagues in the classroom. She has led by example and never shied away from challenges to raise the standard of teaching and student outcomes. 

 

Above all , Paula has been a wonderful advocate for the teachers and students of digital and information technology and I can say we will miss her and hope she will stay in touch. 

 

Happy retirement Paula :)

 

Kevork
