The use of technology can adres both the issue of weak content knowledge as well as that of mother tongue education as identified in this article by Dr Ramphele. It could also impact the fifth issue of community involvement and development. #FutureTrends

@An3sVel Alternative and resourceful! This sounds great but I cannot imagine doing this in a class of 45 grade 1's. Even when you go outside for more space it sounds like a logistical and emotional nightmare to handle alone.

[Andries Vellema @An3sVel]

Are we using the lack of devices or infrastructure as an excuse? To learn the basics of coding doesn't require fancy equipment! And once the basics are there learning different languages are not that hard. #FutureTrends

@Sarah_Hassain_ @YassimKat I have a smart board with built-in speakers through which I play @jacarandafm while teaching for my 3rd language learners to create an immersive language environment. Thanks to my school's SMT and SGB

Technology in education will be unavoidable. I predict that we will leave many pupils behind in the current SA context. Leadership needs to ensure that there is the accountability for all stakeholders. We are literally all in this together. #futuretrends

[Nikita Nunes @RockUstar]

@Sarah_Hassain_ That SA's struggle. At the same time youvhear of funds being allocated and multimillion rands classrooms that were never built. Accountability is lacking for sure. #futuretrends

[Nikita Nunes @RockUstar]

@John12659214 Some schools have considered taking homework away totally. Homework should be reasonable, but a lot use it as a chance to catch up to the curriculum. #futuretrends

[Nikita Nunes @RockUstar]

A counterpoint to online education. Self-study through video is not enough. It would require hybrid learning but it would require more parent/ guardian involvement.

Covid has proven that online schooling is as valid as brick-and-mortar schools. eLearning is projected to increase as more and more parents/guardians are considering it as an viable option. #FutureTrends

@Sarah_Hassain_ @YassimKat Love it! It's like the best of both worlds. Old and new. I think this is the way. Just depends on the school. Difficult in schools with overcrowding where 3 or 4 pupils share a desk meant for 2. #futuretrends

[Nikita Nunes @RockUstar]

eLearning is projected to increase. More and more parents/guardians view it as a valid alternative to traditional brick-and-mortar schools.

Great practical article about digital leadership within the classroom with e-learning goals. All relevant to how you should integrate technology with purpose within a classroom. #FutureTrends

Do you think leadership prioritizes ICT in South African schools? #FutureTrends

[Nikita Nunes @RockUstar]

Did you know that 60% of Africa’s population, is under the age of 25? Read the article. Talks about a conference where one of the goals is to improve digital education in Africa.

Future-fit leaders is about understanding the importance of organisational culture. Schools to be adaptable and agile to digital transformation, strategies alone cannot yield the results, however, educational leaders should also consider organisational culture. #FutureTrends

[@Vundla_Cash1 @Cash1Vundla]

I like his personal perspective about the concept leadership. #Future Trends

[Nikita Nunes @RockUstar]

@JosephKgodiso I like it too, but the concern then is will the technology be secure enough to ensure that the panels will not be stolen. I have heard countless stories of schools being broken into and projectors and computers being stolen. #futuretrends

[Nikita Nunes @RockUstar]

Renewable and independent energy seems to be a long term solution. Imagine if schools had solar panels. However, the installation cost would be immense. Are there other more afforable ways?#futuretrends #leadership

[Nikita Nunes @RockUstar]

This was an interesting video about digital leadership being transformational leadership. #futuretrends

@vanWyk_Nadia Growth is good, but if the training add to future career prospects many will be more than willing to participate in it. #futuretrends
