Learning GainsThe purpose of the two new modules was to share the findings from the evaluation research with teachers and show how the research objectives are directing the project. Teachers appreciated this information because it gave them further insight into the effective use of the technology and allowed them to delve deeper into the interpretations of the CAPS documents.

These focus literacies of the project are gross-motor, fine-motor skills, visual literacy and oral communication in English.
