Week nine has come and gone and I am slowly starting to develop withdrawal symptoms, one more week and we will be finished. One thing I am sure of is that I will be spending much less time in front of the computer. Believe or not... after nine weeks of the webskills course I still can't tell you what the time difference between Centurion and Oregon is. Sorry Robert!
We sent our draft projects to our fellow team members for peer reading and also peer reviewed their drafts. It is quite daunting having your work peer reviewed by someone you hardly know. I find corresponding with someone you don't know online (a faceless person) difficult. The comments I received from my team member were useful and I incorporated some of his suggestions. I am very positive about my project that I plan to implement in the new year and really believe it will work. Our District Office received a sponsor from Vodacom (cellphone service provider). They will be donating a fully functional computer centre with all the bells and whisles to us. They will be starting in January, so by February we will have our own centre that teachers can visit.
Many of the new things I have learnt on this course will be used in my future lessons and training sessions. Before I forget, I also want to thank Francinah Mogoro from the United States Embassy in Pretoria for sponsoring me and providing me with this opportunity.
Greetings from a very hot South Africa and have a great week.
Georg- That is great to hear you will be getting a computer. I am sure your team of teachers will be able to use it well. I hope you will get the chance to share some of your ideas! -Robert
