This is by far the best free teaching resource that I have ever found
on the internet.
In my opinion every lesson that we teach should relate in some way
to the message that this video gives

This was good because it made us think about facts and figures to do
with conflict. It made things more real seeing just how many young
people are involved in conflicts.

Made us think about the impact our actions have on the environment.
Consider car size and fuel consumption, air travel.

I did the quiz & found to my shame that I am using up about 5 & 1/2
planets resources!!! I double checked with another site to find that
was probably an underestimate!!!How can I reduce this?
Water display assembly

This is a powerful presentation which can be used to discuss human
rights with children and encourage them to think about the
differences between their lives and those of children in developing
countries.
Water Powerpoint

A very useful site to create awareness of water use in a variety of
situations both locally and globally. It challenged perceptions and
gave opportunities to think through our personal use of water.
Could
only be used to with older primary children.

Hello Alex
We really enjoyed what you had to show us via your PPT sides as well
as what you had to say about your school. The discipline process was
very interesting - it would be good to hear more about what might
happen as a further measure after meeting with the parents.
We also enjoyed the SOAP definition, and would like to use it.
Go well

I realy like the emphasis you put on working with material that the
learners may be able to find useful cause it can realy do a lot for
the lack of discipline in our learners. What kind of fees do the
learners pay at your school and what do your parent involvement look
like?

On OBE. I don't think OBE was supposed to be used as a system, i'd
rather say we were suppose to use it as a vehicle and take some
positives from it. But the good thing is that the learner can now
take content from different learning areas and apply it to their
daily lives - as a positive

Just looking at your powerpoint presentation on water consumption -
it was an eye opener again.It also shows that using technology for
relevant issues and applying technology positively can create
awareness through learner input where learners are part of the
process. And can start asking critical questions to thamselves
regaring them and water consumption.

Hi Alex
I was really fascinated by our correspondance this morning. As I
merely have a basic knowlegde of computers, you can imagine how
absolutely in awe I was.
I was also PLEASANTLY surprised to find that you also speak French.
I not only teach Life Orientation but I am primarily a French and
English Teacher. Thus you will understand why I'm disappointed to
hear that fewer learners are now studying Foreign languages.
I have had the privilege to take some learners to France and to
Reunion Island as part of an exchange project. We(Belhar High
School- where I've been teaching for 12 years) are hoping to host
another group from La Reunion in 2007. These excanges, as you can
well imagine, these experiences were not only unforgettable...but
life changing.
Have you ever considered embarking on an exchange programme? It
appears to be easier to take learners to other countries than to
actually bing the tecnlogy to the classroom!
C'est bizarre!!!
Au revoir.

Hey Alex, my name is Elarrio Britz .I'm 26 years of age still very
young and in my 5th year of teaching. I must say that my first year
of teaching was a very big learning experience. Coming straight out
university they throw you sometimes in at the deep end. Well I
quickly found out that what you learn is not always the way it is
going to be in practise. It was a big challenge for me but the
learning experience was much more enriching for me as a person and
as educator as well. I think what you are doing with this global
citizenship education and what I also going to do when I go back to
my school, is very good. well I have to go now but I'm sure what I
have learned through the presentation will have a big impact on my
students when they hear it and my fellow college.
