The VSA submitted this photo to The eLearning Africa Photo Competition 2012. The theme is year is The African Century: ICTs Inspiring Innovation. Photos were meant to describe the following: ‘ICTs are increasingly present in everyday African life, enhancing the way we live, learn, cooperate and connect. How have ICTs inspired you? How is technology fostering innovation in individuals and communities in Africa? Let us see this through your eyes! Share your pictures and send us a brief description outlining the inspiration behind your idea.’

So, we submitted this picture with the following description:

‘Helping learners to think “out of the Box”! Here, learners at Mary Waters High School in the Grahamstown township expand their horizons in a fun educational project, in which they develop an innovative board game explaining social networking and the Internet to other learners who do not have access. The objective is to use technology to teach new ways of thinking out of the box about common things like board games.’

Please, help us win this competition – last year we were shortlisted – by voting for us here. If you are interested, also have a look at the photo gallery.

Here a learner at a school without a computer lab can quickly access educational content on awareNet (coming soon Siyavula's Open Textbooks) from a mobile device. With dropping smart phone prices and the learners' affinity for these instruments, awareNet will be able to bring content to thousands of rural schools in South Africa.

This year, we want to submit our favorite photos again to the eLearning Africa Conference Photo Competition. Last year, one of our photos made it into the second round, so we got pretty close to winning, which motivates us to try it again this year.

The VSA invites all awareNet users to take part and send us photos and descriptions about how technology has changed your life.
