EMPOWERING TEACHERS that's what we do!

What is happening in our world?

And before you know it the first month of 2023 has come and gone. For myself and our businesses, we have started off in a very good way, with nearly all our businesses being stronger than last year. We even employed another staff member. So 2023 is looking great and I look forward to building on this success.

As we consolidate our position in the Teacher training space as the fastest growing Teacher training provider in South Africa, we excitedly share with you our next way in which thousands of South African teachers can access our platform for "free"! We also realise that our strengths lie in certain realms of the Coding and Robotics and Edtech space within schools, and so intend to focus on those, whilst rectiying the few situations that helped us realise our space.

You can use your eBucks now

I cannot explain how excited I am to share this with all our teachers in South Africa. And straight off the bat, I want to thank the team at FNB and their rewards team eBucks for allowing us to add this offering to their platform.

So if you bank with FNB and use earn eBucks either as an individual or as a school, you can now simply head across to their platform and use your eBucks to sign up for an annual subscription for yourself or your staff.

Follow this link to use those eBucks for the most worthwhile product in their store (just a bit of bias there!)

What's new on the platform?

So much is happening so quickly that we are working on multiple courses at the moment, we are just about finished our Teaching with Scratch - Beginners, we just keep adding more and more great content to support you.

We have started two new courses:

1) Foundations of Teaching for Learning - Being a Teacher (a great course for all teachers new and old!)

2) Teaching Character and Creating Positive Classrooms (such a fun and great course to uplift your students and classroom environment).

Blue-Bots is still on its way, just making sure we have ALL that you need to get going!

Improvements to the platform

We are still going full steam ahead with enhancing user experience and implementing Gamification into our platform. As we add these enhancements we will let you know.

1) We are working on improving the user experience and will be looking at enhancing the experience users have using a mobile device or cell phone.

2) We are updating the user's dashboard to show the current number of SACE points you have accumulated with completing courses on our platform, we are working with SACE all the time to streamline the experience of completing courses and your points being loaded onto the SACE database and website.

3) The most exciting part for me is that we are bringing on partners to support our gamification process, meaning that whilst you do courses you will not only earn SACE points but you will earn points that count towards a leaderboard. Upon completing various amounts of courses on our platform you will receive vouchers that can be used with our partners....all will be revealed soon, and we are SO excited about this!

Live Webinars 2023 - what's up in Feb?

With the mad rush back to school we have pushed out our initial webinar on Blue-Botstil Feb!

This month we will be kicking off our webinar series for the year with

What is new with Blue-Bots

Besides being one of the best robots to teach directional coding, did you know that you can program the buttons to say the direction they represent in ANY language you want? Have you used the app to its max, so as to teach the concepts without having the hardware or to control your Blue-bot at the same time?

Did you know you can now use block code with your Blue-bot?

Join us for the first of our WEBINAR 2023 series, on the 22nd of February at 16h00.

The Webinar series will be a live Webinar for anyone who wishes and can join us, thereafter the recorded session will be placed onto the platform for our subscribers to revisit or visit if they could not make the live session.

We need your help!

We are always looking for teachers who would like to create content for our site. Do you passionately use technology to teach, is there an app that you think every teacher should be using - why not share? We remunerate for suitable content and we help you with the creation process, if you are interested, click on the link below and drop us a line and let us start the conversation.

Then

the more teachers we have on the site the more content we can get and the more updates and modifications we can make for you on the site, so if you wouldn't mind there are a number of ways you can do this;

a) By leaving a review after you finish a course.

b) By sharing the course you just completed on Social Media.

c) By simply telling your friends and colleagues about the platform.
