I just want to say Thanks Mark for the VCEIt website. It really helped me a lot when i first started teaching VCE IT in 2009-2012. Although I wont be teaching IT this year because I chose not to and do Psyche instead (IT is still the coolest subject), I always
tell new teachers of IT to use the VCE.IT website to assist you in your planning and teaching... Kudos and thank you<br>

Golly. This is like watching one's own funeral ceremony, with special interest from those at the back who turned up just to make sure I was really dead. :-)<br>
<br>
Yes, folks, at 55 I have had enough of ethos, powerful learning, E5, VELS, Australian Curriculum, immersion, curriculum review, "making a profound difference in the precious lives of each and every student we have the honour to teach", being accountable, jumping
at the sound of bells like a champion Pavlovian stunt dog, attending hour-long meetings that could have been replaced by a one-paragraph email, dealing with adolescent bush-lawyers who know only their rights and not their responsibilities, settling disputes
about which year 7 took something from another year 7's pencil case, marking endless SACs, and driving to and from work with the headlights on during cold, wet winters .<br>
<br>
Ah, the memories.<br>
<br>
I will now have time to do stuff like writing "Buckets of Knowledge" for ITA and SD (focusing on the tricky bits that everyone gets confused about), and a Jumbo Collection of multchoice questions, perhaps as an app.<br>
And for years I've been planning on converting vceit.com from static HTML to CMS... now I have time to choose a platform (perhaps Joomla or Wordpress<br>
- whichever is easier to convert to.) And learn MySQL.<br>
And I want to play with Python on my Raspberry Pi... which sounds pretty odd, if you don't know them both.<br>
<br>
And if, on a Wednesday night at 10pm I suddenly get a craving to re-watch an entire season of 'Breaking Bad' just so I can work out if Walter actually poisoned Brock with ricin - I WILL. 'Cos I CAN. The thrill may wear off after a while, so then I'll satisfy
my lifetime desire to get a part-time job at a hardware store selling hammers. Nothing else: just hammers. Sweet.<br>
<br>
But most of all while in my Gentleman Of Leisure mode, I will be strolling down the sand at Bonbeach in the sun thinking kindly of you all sculling your coffee, grabbing your laptops and whiteboard markers and running off to double year 10 while you KNOW that
it's a beautiful day outside and that at least one person is CERTAINLY strolling down the sand at Bonbeach thinking of you.<br>
<br>
I do thank Kevork for his gracious message and noble sentiments. He really is one of the nicest people in The Real World (TM) as well as the IT community.<br>
<br>
Have a rich and rewarding year, everyone!<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Mark K<br>
