"Education is the most powerful weapon which you can use to change the world". Nelson Mandela.
We are pleased to be part of Project Africa which puts the words of Nelson Mandela into practice, making them a reality for schools and school children in South Africa. For those schools that are chosen to take part in the Project initially SkillsTrain will provide free Live Internet Training sessions. One of the aims of the Project is to provide Live Internet Training sessions to schools in South Africa that would not otherwise be able to benefit from this type of training, remaining in close contact with the schools, and providing free follow-up Live sessions. In the first phase of the Project, scheduled for November 2006, eight schools will be chosen to take part. Each of the eight schools will be provided with Live Internet Training sessions conducted by UK teachers via the Internet.
The Live Internet Training environment operates just like a conventional class, except over the Internet. Students can speak with the teacher; the teacher can use tools, such as an electronic white board, to show students concepts, and to discuss them together. Software applications can be shared by the students and the teacher in order that the teacher can show students how to operate the software, and the teacher can even watch while students carry out functions on their PCs.
