Kuyasa is IT!

The excitement on learners faces when David and Mark switched on the internet . The educator had already attached the laptop to the Interactive Whiteboard. They were eager to try the new device in their classroom despite the fact that others may laugh at the mistakes they make. Yet they seem to take this in their stride.

We went to the Takalani Sesame website and allowed learners to explore the pictures they could colour in. They may not know what the internet is, but they know what excites them. It is hoped that through the interaction with the interactive whiteboard and the internet learners will have greater exposure to a world far bigger than Khayelitsha.
The learner on the left was the first person to make shapes on the board using smiley faces. Other learners were disappointed that they did not get a chance to try their hand using the board.

It was good to see that learners and educators did not wait for their facilitator (Nontobeko) to instruct them. They took the bull by the horns.

Nontobeko has indicated that she is just as excited as the learners!
