Teachers from South Africa
and Lesotho are invited to apply to be Microsoft Innovative Educator:
Experts to stand a chance of
winning a trip to the Partners in Learning Global Forum. To do this you will
need to fill in the online application form and upload a learning activity
which includes a two-minute video describing how you used technology to enhance
a lesson or project to the Partners
in Learning Network.

From the applications that
are received by 3 June 2013, fifteen teachers will be selected to attend the SchoolNet SA ICT in
the Classroom conference that is
being held in Bloemfontein from 2 – 4 July 2013. At this conference these
fifteen teachers will have an opportunity to share their learning activities,
network with like-minded teachers, and learn more about using technology to
enhance teaching. Later in the year, at least one of these fifteen teachers
will be selected to attend the Global Partners in Learning Forum which will be
taking place in a not-yet-decided international destination in March or April
2014.

The final closing date for
Microsoft Innovative Educator: Expert applications has been extended to 30
September 2013. This means that teachers who apply after 3 June 2013 are still
eligible to win a trip to the Global Partners in Learning Forum even if they
did not have an opportunity to attend the SchoolNet SA conference. We look
forward to seeing the creative and engaging learning activities that South
African and Lesotho teachers have developed, and seeing our most innovative
teachers being recognized for their hard work and creativity.
