In April and May we will be running a free Microsoft Innovation workshop in every province. During the workshop teachers will learn about digital tools they can use to engage learners; where to find ideas and inspiration for enhancing their lessons by integrating technology; and how to share learning activities with other teachers through the Partners in Learning Network (www.pil-network.com). The workshop will also cover some 21 Century Learning Design dimensions which will help teachers to design or enhance existing lessons to include opportunities for collaboration, communication, knowledge building and problem solving.

One day face-to-face Innovation workshops will take place from 8:30am until 4pm at the following venues. There is no cost to attend the workshops but for catering purposes please email mathapelo@schoolnet.org.za or call 011 403 5777 to book your place or for more information.
