Comment by Heike Philp on May 18, 2013 at 1:26pm: Hi Phili,

Thank you for your words of appreciation. Were you at the welcome addres, when we organizers introduces the VRT Academy?

Comment by Teacherphili on May 18, 2013 at 1:19pm: Hi Heike. Thank you so much for uploading the recordings so quickly from yesterday (Fri), handily linked to via the program. I presume they will go into the archive recording section at a later date. What a fabulous permanent PD resource, by the way.

Looking forward to the start of the round table! :)
I am working this week-end so I need to plan my time-table carefully ... is there any way to get the details for the Sunday contributions?

Comment by Heike Philp on May 16, 2013 at 11:28pm: Thank you very much Teacher Phili. Much appreciated.

Comment by Teacherphili on May 16, 2013 at 10:11pm: I'm looking forward to attending as many sessions as possible over the next 3 days and blogging about each one that I manage to attend. Got my program printed off. http://tpstefltravels.blogspot.co.uk/
