Information

e-Schools’ Network will be holding its 7th national teacher conference on September 26, 27 and 28th 2010. This conference will cover a wide range of topics over a 3 day period during the school holidays – focusing on integrating ICTs in the classroom to enrich the lives of both educator and learner. We will be running presentations and hands-on workshops and will be introducing new technologies to educators and discussing the importance and use of ICT in education. This is an environment for educators to network with other educators and discuss the real issues associated with introducing ICT into lessons, and using it as an effective teaching tool. You are invited to share your experiences and programmes that you have developed in your classrooms with an audience that is open and eager to learn and to take back your experiences and adapt them to enhance the learning experience in their classrooms.
