Meeting at Intlanganiso

On friday a meeting was held at Intlanganiso to initiate the use of the Interactive Whiteboards at the school. Ms Dlova was the first to scribble some science stuff on the board while the other educators looked on. Three educators, Ms Dlova (Science), Mr Yali (maths) and Mr Ndoyantya (Geography) have attended training at Zola Secondary School. They are ready to assist other educators who are not so sure about using the board.


At our meeting we discussed :

• what the expectations and fears are when using the board,
• the usage of the boards,
  
• the time-tabling of the rooms,
• the management of people where the laptops were concerned, and
  
• the safety and security of the laptops. This included the updating of insurance.

Just before we used the board Allan Naidoo visited the school to check whether the quality of work was acceptable. Then it was time to play. For a short while we oriented the board again, wrote on it and played with the science flash animations.

Shortly, the interactive whiteboards will be in full use.
