awarenet Open Day

On Friday, the 25th of April 2014 Dr Anna-Maria Wertlen, Terri – Lynn Penney, Antje Hering and Rieke Heitmüller arranged the second awarenet Open Day in the C.M Vellem Primary School for two hours in the afternoon, related to the international Girls in ICT day.
This initiative is backed by ITU (International Telecommunication Union) Member States as an opportunity for girls and young women to get inspired about ICT.
Celebrated at the end of April every year, the Village Scribe Association members invited IT teachers and students from Samuel Ntsiko Primary School, S.D Adventist School and Archie Mbolekwa Public School in Grahamstown to get an introduction of the awarenet programme.
The idea of the awarenet Open Day was to promote the programme and to encourage the teachers to work together with awarenet. The students and teachers were introduced to the awarenet programme, the most important features and projects.
While the students’ explored awarenet and wrote blogs about the awarenet Open Day and their experiences in ICT, the teachers got an introduction about KhanLite.
As the awarenet Open Day was drawing to a close, the students were still busy writing blogs, poems and watching photos.
