[Yr7-10it] A handy resource for photoshop by an Aussie lass!

[Kent Beveridge]

http://www.photoshopstar.com/
Came across this site today whilst looking at online resources for my sub-VCE classes(7-10's). If you do choose to use it, have a look at the 'about' button and take note of the authors details, a perfect example of age being no barrier to learning. 
I like it for its tutes on photoshop, oh, and by the way, the author is a young female from South Oz, hows that for local talent!
 
Well done to her, I say.
 
I am sure some of my students(and perhaps some of yours too!) will benefit from some of the info/tutes on this site.
 
(not a paid ad and no self-interest here,  just an example of useful info and Aussie ingenuity!)

Again, how does one determine what 'performance' is?  Is the govt still chasing its tail while we still suffer with low pay after 10+ years of service? Blah, Blah, yadda, yadda, someone get me a bucket!!

Ah, found it:
http://www.theage.com.au/news/national/rudd-learns-tough-lesson/2008/01/15/1200159449769.html?page=fullpage#contentSwap1

"About 13,000 teachers and principals in the public and private school
systems took part in the national survey. Of those, about 70% agreed
that higher pay based on competence or extra qualifications would help
retain more teachers."
