Tablet Fun Fun Fun-day preparations


We are having great fun preparing for our fun day with our #ict4red teachers in #cofimvaba! We will be hosting 150 of our amazing teachers on Saturday 2 November and is therefore preparing a vibrant team to make sure that everybody will be having maximum fun fun fun! We are so chuffed that teachers are prepared to give up a WHOLE Saturday to come and learn more about their tablets and have fun with us. That makes us very (h)appy!

Reaching for the stars!
As this #ict4red course is all about changing teaching into a more collaborative fun, student centered activity (using tablets), we will be using the teaching strategy that we learned about last (Learning stations) to create a large scale, school wide,  learning station, which will more resemble a fabulously fun market place of learning! You will be going around collecting tidbits of skills, apps, knowledge and collaborations, while getting completely STAR STUDDED (literally). Your aim will be to collect as many stars as possible within a limited time span.

The team
Your friendly facilitators and the Meraka team, will be there to help and assist you, but we have also organised some learners to turn the tables on you! For once they will be teaching and helping YOU- payback time! We have hand picked a big bunch of PUNKS to make sure that you can operate your tablet like a NINJA. 

Don't forget to charge your tablets in order to cope with all the fun! Please bring with all your cables and bits as we will make sure that you know how to do your fun-bit!

Registration fun will start at 8 am sharp! So get there early to get a head start!! If you already have an email address make sure that you remember the password!! If at all possible you can already send us an email to Ict4red@gmail.com with your name and school and why you are a star tablet user. There might be a prize in it!! Also for those who have not SMS-ed us that they are coming, please do so as that will definitely enter you in the prize draw! If you have not received a SMS invite, also let us know!

Talking about Prizes!!
We have lots of fun tech related prizes to be won! There are TV connector cables, flash drives, SD cards, speakers, earphones, external chargers, tablet pens, car chargers aaaaaand.....a laptop and Samsung S4 to be won! We also have a floating trophy for the school with the most stars per teacher!! Jaribaaaaaa!!!

Meraka, Afrihost, Eduboard, ICT4Champions, Schoolnet and Queens college who is making their school, students and WiFi available to us at no extra cost. Jaribaaa indeed!
