At the recent SchoolNet ICT in the classroom conference Omashani Naidoo from SchoolNet gave two presentations.

Omashani first presentation entitled ‘A leader in the 21st century’ referred to the very successful Telkom Foundation ICT project that benefits three provinces in South Africa, namely the Western Cape, the Eastern Cape and Free State. The project is aimed at Multigrade classrooms. Omashani showed the steps taken to develop the professional development in ICT technologies at the schools in the project. A Change Leadership course for Management and the Intel Getting Started course as well as the Microsoft ICT skills for teachers course are used in this project.
