Welcome Term 3 2007

Well its been a month since I've looked at this BLOG. A lot has happened, end of term, final assessment for EDU5471 completed and marked, school holidays have come and gone and we're all back for the new term.
Managed to pass EDU 5471 - feeling much better about online study now!!

What's on the agenda for this term? Immediately, Microsoft Schools Agreement, principals meeting in Roma and diocesan teachers inservices in Charleville, Roma and Toowoomba. Followed by eight weeks as Assistant Director, whilst the assistant director (my boss) is on Long Service and Sabbatical Leave. Should be an interesting experience!

The schools agreement has been somewhat difficult to negoitiate, trying to get agreement on schools not paying for any new licences for the rest of the year until the contract begins in January 2008. Microsoft are moving towards this and I'm hoping they will waive the licencing fees in time for me to prepare a presentation for the principals meeting next week. This is looking as if it may happen.
