Dear Colleagues,



I have known Maggie for over 20 years and she was an inspiration to me. She motivated me to continue to work in VCE IT and I feel a great loss with her passing.

Maggie was a selfless person.

I worked with her at VITTA and on VITTA PD days; she worked with me when I was State Reviewer for Software Development; we helped each other in our day to day teaching roles.

Maggie was that sort of person that you felt privileged to know.

I know that she would be humbled by the outpouring of emotion we have seen over the past few days.

The I.T. community has lost a great and tireless worker and I have lost a valued friend.

Rest In Peace Maggie.







Kind regards

I also first met Maggie at a VITTA PD for new VCE IT teachers and she was so generous in her support.  A few years later, we were both employed at Bialik College around the same time.  Sitting beside her at her desk was a unique experience.

·       I watched a true professional prepare her classes meticulously, preparing new material for most classes, even though she could fall back to previous work

·       She constantly updated her own IT skills in new forms of software - video editing, animation and 3D modelling.

·       She gave unconditionally to the students, other staff and the whole school community, spending her own time to assist others.

·       Like everyone, she was frustrated with teachers who had no idea about how to use computers, but kept persevering.

·       She would inexplicably break out into Russian

·       We watched her communicate with her radio friends including cosmonauts on the Space Station

After I left the College, I know she had some rough times but her friendliness shone through at any VITTA events that I saw her at.

I was lucky to have met her and worked with her.

RIP Maggie

When Maggie was diagnosed with her illness this time last year I was asked to cover for her IT Apps class at Yeshivah college. It has been a long time since I taught IT but with her start to the course it was a relatively easy thing to finish up for her.
When I was asked to teach Maths at our sister school, Maggie was well enough and aching to get back to teaching. She continued to be well enough to teach up until the end of the semester.
I have taken the class back up but they are mighty shoes to fill! Maggie was an amazingly generous person, particularly in helping me prepare for the likelihood of teaching the class again this year.
While I did not know her long many at this school did, including those whose children she taught in the past.
The mood here is very sad and sombre since we heard yesterday that she had died.
It is very gratifying to those here most affected to hear of all the well wishes being posted here.
This is a sad loss for us all and the world is a little worse off for her passing.

I am very sad to hear of this, my thoughts and prayers are with her Family, Friends and Students.
I had the privilege of knowing Maggie through to aspects of her life, first as a teacher and colleague. She was so giving and supportive always willing to share with people.

I also knew Maggie through our shared interest in Amateur Radio, in fact I first learnt of Maggie when she arranged supported Parade College in making Contact with the International Space Station.

She will be missed amongst all the communities.

Hi there folks,

Upon returning to Victoria 16 whole years ago, following my start in teaching in Queensland, I could not have met a friendlier, more encouraging, more helpful individual than Maggie Iaquinto at VITTA PD for Teaching Units 1-4 IT.

Later on, following a number years out of teaching VCE IT, and upon getting back into it, I was glad to catch up with Maggie's smiling face again at the annual VITTA conference just a few years back. She had not changed one bit and was just as encouraging and as interested as ever.

As seems to be universally the case on this list, I count it a privilege that I had the opportunity to meet, talk with and share with such an inspiring individual.

You will be greatly missed Maggie.

I’m really sorry to hear that.
She was a wonderful person. I only collaborated with her a few times but she was always very helpful, pleasant and patient.

What a sad blow to education in general and IT in particular.

Dear colleagues

It is with great sadness to inform you that our dear colleague Maggie passed away this morning.

Maggie made an outstanding contribution to education. She was an inspiring and diligent teacher, an active contributor to these listservs and a generous provider of expertise to VITTA in a range of capacities. In addition she tirelessly supported the VCAA in many ways, including:


·         Review Panel member for several study designs

·         Benchmarking report author

·         Software Development State Reviewer

·         Contributor to Assessment Handbooks

·         Implementation  workshop presenter

·         Assessor of CATs.

It was in the capacity of assessing CATs that I first met Maggie over 20 years ago, and she never ceased to inspire me with her creativity, inquisitiveness, quirkiness and expertise. We shared many coffees over the years discussing VCE IT and I have lost a friend and a highly valued colleague.

Vale Maggie.

Regards
Paula
