Intro.

Would you like to improve your Digital Literacy or ICT skills. I have hundreds of hours of experience, training educators from all over the world. I would love to help you become a more effective educator, by leveraging the affordances of modern ICT's in your unique Learning Ecosystem.

Below is a snippet of the type of tools that I offer training on, however a tool is just one part of the equation when learning, the other is what type of learning engagement are you trying to create or experience.           

For that keep reading ....

Training Design

My experience suggests that groups of 3 educators at a broadly similar level of digital literacy is the optimal size for training, due to positive group dynamics and cost efficiency. My experiences also suggests that engaging with authentic learning problems and creating effective digital artefacts using the new ICT skills learnt in training, further consolidates the skills learnt to effect permanent positive change. So these are two of the key ideas that I use to inform how I design the training sessions. I offer two main types of training sessions online and in-person, with the more common one being online due to the convenience and flexibility. Further details can be found below.

Training Offered - Training Topics

Online 

This type of training  is conducted online using the Video Conferencing and Collaboration tool Zoom. Zoom has fantastic usability and offers a range of useful features for allowing meaningful learning to take place in the online space. I offer a broad range of training options and can also develop specific materials on request.  Below is a list of examples of the type of training that I have done in this space.

In-person

  • All of the above sessions can also be run in person on request - if an appropriate time and place can be found. My recommendation is that you limit the groups to between 3 and 10 people, if this is the type of session that would want to run.
  • Keynote Presentations for Events or Conferences
    Price on request and subject to travel costs and arrangements ...

Costs

  • Online 3 person training session (R500 per hour for the group) 
  • Online Individual Session (R400 per hour)
  • Online Pairs Session (R450 per hour for the pair) 
  • In-person  - R1200 per training hour and travel costs - maximum of 60 min total travel time
  • In-person - KeyNote - to be negotiated based on scope, content , time and audience involved

Using Mathematics to Help Buy a Car in the South African Context (Part 2)

Image
Image Credit Follow on  In the previous post ( link to part 1 )  I discussed the basic mathematical  ideas to have in mind when thinking about purchasing a car. I had decided I would look at cars in the range of 80 - 100 000 rand and I wanted to buy a used car because of the better value offered. The videos in post 1, suggest cars around the range of 2 - 4 years old, as they offer the best trade off between future maintenance costs and depreciation on the purchase price after you have bought it. I agree with the facts laid out and will probably look for something in the 3 to 4 year old range. However I still need to check to see if the same patterns on maintenance costs and depreciation are also true in the South African context.  This points to our next step in our search. How do we get accurate information relevant to the SA context to see if these ideas mentioned are true and so allow me to get closer to my ultimate goal, buying a car. I am going to start with an internet search to

A little bit about OneNote for Maths Teachers

Image
Intro Over the last year or so I have increasingly been using Microsoft OneNote to author my maths lessons. I think a lot of maths teachers would benefit from having a closer look at the tool as it has a lot features that lessen the amount of work a maths teacher has to do when preparing lessons. It is also very easy to work with, when collaborating with other maths teachers because of the native sharing functions it has. Some Useful Links  These are a collection of links I saved to help with common problems I had when starting to use OneNote as Maths Teacher.  My Online Notebooks URL   (link to the online version) Export and Import Copies of OneNote Notebooks  Import Whole Notebooks into OneNote Online URL Great OneNote Youtube Tutoria l for Maths Teachers  Summary I plan to return to this post in future and update it as I continue using OneNote in my Mathematics Teaching in 2022.
