Green for go

Just before the end of term, each of the eight Stage II schools had a meeting where their staff were asked to explore their hopes and fears for the ZSP. The task was based around a traffic light ( or 'robot' as it is known here in South Africa).

Traffic light analysis activity

The amber light required the staff to summarise the expected impact of ZSP at their school. Here is a selection of some of the responses.

Winter break.

The schools break up tomorrow for a longer than usual winter break. Schools have been given extra time off due to the Soccer World Cup. We wish all the staff and learners a good break and hopefully Bafana Bafana (the South African National football team) will put on a good show!

Work on the infrastructure will carry on during the school break. You will be able to follow the progress on blog; just click on the Stage II school's pages and on the ZSPs photo gallery.

The ZSP Team will be reviewing the staff e-literacy evaluation forms carried out by all staff at the Stage II schools. This review will allow the Team to design an e-literacy training program for each staff member.

Metamorphosis

There is nothing more exciting than to watch a new project 'grow' before your eyes. This is very much the case with the progress of the Computer Centres in the eight ZSP Stage II schools.

Hopefully you have been checking both the summary slideshow "Infrastructure progress" on the Blog's main page and the more detailed slideshow on each of the school's individual pages.
