Grade 12 Maths Educator Workshop

Dear Colleagues and Friends

The Community Education Computer Society (CECS), would like to invite computer literate Grade 12 Mathematics Educators based in Gauteng and the Eastern Cape to apply for a place to attend a 2-day ICT training workshop. The workshops will take place as follows:

•     Johannesburg: 26 & 27 February 2011
•      East London: 5 & 6 March 2011 and 12 & 13 March 2011

The closing date for applications is Friday, 18 February 2011. Applications forms can be downloaded from the CECS website.

CECS is an ICT training NGO which was established in April 1985 in the Western Cape and has provided relevant ICT training for a range of sectors for over 20 years. CECS recently received support from the S A Finnish Partnership (SAFIPA) for a project which aims to empower Mathematics Educators to use ICTs for resource development.

The aim of the workshop is to equip computer literate Grade 12 Mathematics Educators with the knowledge and skills to use a word-processing program to type maths question and test papers which incorporates equations, functions, and geometric drawings. We want Educators to take charge of typing their own question papers.

We are hereby requesting you to invite computer literate Grade 12 Mathematics Educators to apply for a place to participate in the workshop or if you will be so kind to circulate this note amongst relevant stakeholders. There is no cost for attending the workshop but unfortunately, CECS will not be able to cover travelling and accommodation expenses for selected Educators.

CECS will also be conducting workshops in the other 7 provinces. Thus, if you are not in the mentioned provinces, then do go to our website to register your interest.

Thanking you.
