SchoolNet SA would like to congratulate the South African and Lesotho Microsoft Innovative Educator Experts who have been selected to be part of this programme for 2015-2016. This year we have a total of 61 MIEs – 46 new MIEs as well as 15 MIEs who were selected in 2014 who have opted to remain in the programme.
During the course of the year, all Microsoft Innovative Educator Experts will have an opportunity to:
· test new Microsoft products whilst they are in beta form;
· participate in exclusive professional development opportunities
· and participate in focus groups to give feedback to development teams at Microsoft.
Most exciting of all is that SOME of the South African and Lesotho MIEs will be selected to be amongst 300 MIEs from around the world who will attend the Microsoft in Educator Exchange Event (E²), in Budapest, Hungary in March 2016.
