Online support for the South African Microsoft Partners in Learning Forum

If you would like to enter the South African Microsoft Partners in Learning Forum, but don’t know where to start; or if you have a project that is already up and running but you don’t know how to go about entering it, join the Online Innovation Support Course. Over the next eight weeks, former Innovative Teacher Forum winner, Fiona Beal will be guiding teachers through the process of developing a lesson or project that uses technology in a creative way. She will help teachers brainstorm ideas, get started with their projects and complete their entries. The course will include webinars in which former Forum winners will describe their projects and will give advice and encouragement to others. There will be general Q and A sessions as well as online mentorship for teachers who want individual guidance.

Although new content and webinars will be posted every week, it is not necessary to begin the course at the beginning or to view every webinar. Webinars will also be recorded and links will be available on the course wiki so that teachers who miss a webinar can watch it at another time. It is not necessary to participate in the Online Innovation Support Course to enter the competition, but we are sure that those who do participate will get valuable guidance.
