About
Welcome to my IT Centre blog!
I am a teacher of 20-odd years and ICT is my passion. For 16 years I was a regular class teacher. Four years ago this position landed in my lap and I haven’t looked back! My job as ICT Integration Co-ordinator for our school’s Senior Primary campus, means that I get to do research and assist the teachers in their role. We approach ICT a little differently here in that we follow an integrated approach. In other words, we bring the classroom and the IT Centre together and merge them to create a whole new learning centre! To do this, our teachers have to teach their IT own lessons. I facilitate by helping them come up with ideas, sourcing websites and creating picture libraries. I love my job. It has enabled me to meet the most amazing people from South Africa and all over the world. I am truly blessed and I am on a mission to pass on what I have learnt and continue to learn every day. Come and share my journey with me…
I am also on Twitter (@ICT_Integrator) and Facebook (http://www.facebook.com/ict.integrator) – see you there!
New technology to help parents with Cyberbullying and Cellphone Abuse.
I would like to introduce you to http://www.mymobilewatchdog.co.za, a parental control application for parents to monitor and guide their children’s cellphone behaviour.
We realised that there was a drastic need for this type of application as modern smartphones are effectively laptops that can make calls. Our networks in this country provide rudimentary adult content controls but are incapable of protecting our children against peer-to-peer cyberbullying, sexting and online grooming.
Please visit our website and blog and feel free to contact me on any of my details above if you have any further questions.
