3. Emerged from a very rural and impoverished family back
ground
Primary school was a farmers house, under the tree and
the in the shop
30m to and from on foot.
Im a school principal from a school that has very limited
resources with many orphans
Didn’t let my background to dictate my destination
Never allow the so called BBT limit my passion
One of my principles in life: TO LEARN BY SHARING AND
HARVESTING innovative INFORMATION FROM EACH
OTHER.. Never too late to catch up.

Hi5

7. t
Sway is one of the recent apps by Microsoft which is very much user
friendly. I use it to write text, to upload videos, to paste images and
paste recorded utube and skyped videos and for learners to upload
their projects both images and animated popeyes, to summarize and
profile the school projects
MT HOFLSEN and his company came up with the idea of creating this
app
Meaning of sway: move or cause to move rhythmically backward, or
forward or side to side
Synonym: swing, shake,oscillate

16. RECOMMENDATIONS
If you say you teach the way learners learn and
still not in the social media, then think twice. We
need to be where learners are in order to win
their minds.
Traditional way of teaching and learning has no
room in this era!
I urge all educators to transform their way of
teaching. We don't say technology can replace
a teacher but it can assist a teacher in
simplifying the learning content.

THEY ARE GOING. YOU SHOOT WHERE THEY ARE,YOU ARE LIKELY TO
MISS THEM” -JJ SWART

20. “WHEN THE EGG IS BROKEN BY THE
FORCE INSIDE, LIFE BEGINS”
It start with you. Self determination and being goal orientated is the way to
go.
Transformation starts with you. Change of
negative attitude towards technology

21. IN HIS BOOK TITLED “THE WAY TO WEALTH”,
BENJAMIN FRANKLIN (1706-1790) AN
AMERICAN STATESMAN, AUTHOR, AND
SCIENTIST SAYS :
 “An investment in knowledge always pays the best
interest”

22. Change don’t come easily. Perseverance!!!!
