Hi Pru I am at the PD session your are running at the moment. I am very interested in organising a PD day about edna for the organisation I work for in West Gippsland. I will talk to my Manager and then contact you regarding availability.

HI Pru I just came across your message from 30 April re comparing notes on faceted search development and testing. In trying to open yourmessage I have ended soemwhere compeletley different, your whiteboard. I'm a bit confused, but at least I can leave you a message here. . Tim said he tried to contact Gerry recently for a catch up and hasn't heard. Should we have a conference in VET virtual? Janet

In relation to your comment: On 18 Feb 2008 Pru Mitchell wrote Wow - I thought it was probably a mistype when I saw the location, but you are really the first person registered from Azerbaijan. What curriculum does the International School use there? _____________ I wrote on May 10th the following: On 10 May 2008 Leigh Newton wrote It uses the IB, so I'm using the Primary Years Program, being a grade 5 teacher, and am loving it. We are in the last days of the culminating unit (Exhibition), with the big day on Wednesday. We've just been reviewed for re-authorisation for the IB and the reviewers gave a very glowing report to my co-teacher and me. I feel like I have something to offer to a PYP school when I return to Aus. Any schools in SA looking for someone in the last year of PYP? ______________ I'm still figuring this out and have decided that you probably wouldn't be reading anything that I posted on my own white board, hence the pasting aross. Am I right?

Pru, Thanks for the heads up on the double identity. Obviously my secret life has been discovered! Ha ha. Please merge both of them. One must be left over from the AATE/TLF workshop in 2007 and I don't know the password for it. Thank you. Annabel
