<DIV><FONT face=Arial color=#000000 size=2>Hi all, a final reminder about the PixelEd "Meet the Industry" Dinner this coming Thursday. It promises to be a good night with exciting speakers, and I know the food is excellent, having eaten there a few times recently. Our host at Enoteca Oggi, Chris, is an ex-teacher and is very happy to support teacher professional development. </FONT></DIV>
<DIV><FONT face=Arial size=2>If you are going out on the VITTA Bus Tour on Thursday, the dinner could be an excellent end to your day - a short trip from the VITTA offices where the tour ends, into Lygon Street, just in time. Hope to see some of our PixelEd regulars there, as well as some new faces,</FONT></DIV>
