 * Hi Annette 7/9**

Will add to the timeline later on Cheers Ruth

P.S. found a website at the bottom of that NAPLAN article in that Teachers magazine http://www.curriculum.edu.au/vervel-resources/ACER_Report_on_Reporting_and_comparing_school_performances.pdf

Hi Ruth Finally getting the hang of the wiki thing. I also had this for League Tables but don't know if we need it or not now. The //Program for International Student Assessment// (PISA) which compares the literacy and numeracy performance of Australian and New Zealand 15-year-olds against the performance of similar students in 31 overseas countries has revealed some surprising results. According to PISA, the area of most concern is within Australia itself where it appears gender, socio-economic status and Indigenous students are all factors contributing to low achievement in literacy and numeracy. Use it if you think we need it.

Also I didn't get to go on the web conference - computer troubles. I emailed Tim about 7.15 pm so I hope he got it. Was there anything else I should know about? Would you like me to come down on Tuesday again? Bye for now Annette

Hi Annette 12/9 11.30pm (been out dog walking) I also had a lot of trouble with the web conference, I think it was too windy here in Hobart, as the audio was very blocky and my connection with the Uni. kept dropping out. I did tell them this as well on the night. As far as I could make out the discussion did not lend it self to our assignment, only to the week 8 discussion board topic. I've added a couple of comments on the bottom of our discussion, 12/9, have a read through, check any grammar - spelling ect and post, I'm happy with whats been posted so far. Also don't think there is a real need to meet up TUESDAY this week. Have another assignment to get through for literacy, so will concentrate on that this week, will go over the posting to submit for feed back on Wednesday, (am going to Ross on Thursday with my husband for work related business) Please change anything or ring me whether you have any queries to what I am going to submit on Friday for feedback (we are not being marked on what we submit) only the feed back we give to another submission. Will be interesting to see whether we get the same Draft to give feedback on.

Will chat soon P.s. if you call on Monday morning and there is no reply, I am probably stacking wood in the shed and can not hear the phone ring. I also have an appointment with my accountant at 2.30pm on Monday so will be away for a couple of hours mid afternoon.

take care Ruth
