The aim is to introduce a choice of three interesting and useful webtools every week (two via the course blog and one via a webinar). The course requirement is that participants try out and share with the group at least two of the tools they have created during the course. The twelve tools that are presented will be from the following categories:</span><br /><u><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">Week 1</span></u><span style="font-family: "Arial","sans-serif";">: Mindmapping tools, Podcasting tools, Photosharing tools, <br /><u>Week 2</u>: Screencasting tools, Curating tools, Classroom Management tools<br /><u>Week 3</u>: Video creation tools, Presentation tools, Document sharing tools<br /><u>Week 4</u>: Vocabulary tools, Review games, Backchannelling tools, </span></div><br /><div style="font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;">If you are a South African teacher and would like to sign up for this free course, please click on the link below to be taken to the sign up page.
