Thanks to all those who made it to the PE tech teachers' first 2011 gathering at Collegiate yesterday. Sadly it was quite a small turn out. We talked about the Intel Getting Started course for teachers. Sammy Bouwers will be setting up a course this term. Two schools, Sunridge and Collegiate Junior are offering the Intel Elements course to their staff. They will run it as a self-paced course. The Peer Coaching course for the PE and Uitenhage districts is scheduled to begin on 19 February. If you or colleagues are interested please ask your principal to contact Omashani at SchoolNet. Her address is omashani@schoolnet.org.za She will be able to forward all the necessary information.

All of the above courses help teachers integrate IT into the curriculum and focus on 21 Century learning goals.

Our next meeting will be in the first week of term 2 and the focus will be learning about wikis and how we can use them in our classroom. We will send you confirmed dates later this term. As some you you already know. This meeting will be hosted in my compute lab at Sunridge Primary. I need numbers please so that I can arrange for catering. Thanks, Glen. glen@sunridge.co.za Hi Glen, we will get numbers to you nearer the time. Sammy Bouwers is inviting some of the teachers from schools that have just received new computer labs. Thanks for your commitment to the group. Brenda
