On Thursday afternoon 12 Feb 2015 at 3.30pm we held a SchoolNet webinar entitled ‘Creative use of Microsoft’s digital free tools for teaching and learning’. This was presented by a South African teacher, Mabore Lekalakala, who is also a Microsoft Innovative Educator Expert #MIEExpert15.  Mabore will soon be attending the Global Forum in Redmond Washington.

The webinar description

Mabore added a description of the webinar: “With the advent of using ICT to enhance learning initiatives in South Africa, innovative minds are already wondering how and where to start? With the resources available at your school whether limited or unlimited, as an innovative teacher you could start with the implementation of ICT to enhance teaching and learning. In this webinar I will be taking you through:

1. Microsoft free tools available on Microsoft Educator Network to bring life to teaching and learning.

2. How to access the tool and creatively use them to support teaching and learning

3. What is “Dock to Desktop”? How to enable and disable it. What it lets a teacher or student do. What are the benefits?”
