<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">Hi Luke,</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d"> </span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d"> There was a session at last year’s VITTA conference on Rethinking Junior IT. If a VITTA member you can download the presentation file from their website.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">Taking that as a starting point, you can visit specific schools once you know what you are looking for by asking eg . Who has a 3D animation program such as Blender at their school ? I would love to hear more about it ? Alternatively, you can ask for a summary of the software or IT courses Yr7-10 for consideration.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d"> Whilst not wanting to prevent you from discovery tours of schools, it may be more productive if you are more specific. </span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d">Just my thoughts.</span></p>
<p><span style="FONT-SIZE: 11pt; COLOR: #1f497d"> </span></p>

You arent far from the AIET office in Brunswick, so Allan Barnes could be a contact for you...he is often on these lists, usually on the Vet one.</span></p>

<div>Hi guys,<br>I'm Luke and I have recently been tasked with updating/developing a program for ICT in my school, St Johns Greek Orthodox College in Preston. The current resources at the school are non existent and this is only my forth year teaching and my second actually doing ICT. There are some great resources up on the edulists site, but what I would like to do is visit a school/s and see how they are implementing ICT across the years 7 -10 to get some ideas. Would there be anyone who is willing to have me visit them at thier school and give me some pointers on getting a good ICT program running at my school?<br>
