Three teachers from Seychelles joined over 200 educators, school and education leaders from Middle East and
Africa to collaborate and share creative ways to transform learning
through technology at the annual Microsoft Partners in Learning Middle East and
Africa Forum in Marrakech, Morocco from 27 – 29 September 2012.
This year’s event was held under the patronage of Mohamed El Ouafa, the Minister for National Education.
The Partners in Learning Forum is designed to promote and share innovative teaching practices using technology in the classroom and to offer collaboration opportunities with peers across the Middle East and Africa.
Over the two days Morocco became a hub for innovative education in the region and the Forum presented education professionals with a unique chance to participate in the hands-on workshops and to showcase school and educator projects in the exhibition.
Following the local Seychelles Partners in Learning Forum, the three educators were selected for their innovative ways of integrating ICT to their teaching and in their classroom.
Natalie Duval from Beau Vallon secondary school presented her project 'Piracy: Historical Past, Present Threat, Future Consequences' which aimed at integrating the use of various ICT resources within the History National Curriculum, at the S2 level.
The two other educators, Elvina Brutus and Lynn Albert, from Anse aux Pins primary schools, teamed up to showcase their project ‘Introducing numbers through creative activities’.
Through this project, they aimed to better develop pupils’
understanding of the concept numbers and their quantity by incorporating
different activities through technology devices.
Partners in Learning provides a platform for collaboration in 37 countries in Middle East and Africa, and this year’s Forum in Marrakech was an opportunity to celebrate the best teaching achievements within this community, and encourage educators to engage and work together towards an even brighter future.
As in previous years, an individual and group competition for the most innovative teaching projects in the Middle East and Africa concluded the Forum.
A select number of innovative pathfinder schools as well as winning educators will represent their country and the region in the Partners in Learning Global Forum from November 28 to December 1 2012 in Prague, Czech Republic.
